I do, 2 or 3 good ones out therer, what have you been offered?

[MrG 3]

Owners club one

 

independent one, very good.

 

again an indie but very good

 

most are performance biased but all offer good advice. I'm looking for a Cross Country now if I can.

what have you been offered?

 

 

Thanks Andrew, I am going to look at a V50 T5 on Friday.

They run the Volvo/Ford lump so I hope they are quite reliable and good for a few miles

I found this one too, TurboBricks, great name although mainly earlier American kit from the looks of it.

v50 t5 is good, all Volvo's are reliable, a bit bland when compared to the BMW/Audi etc but just as capable if not better in some instances. I've gone from the V70R and to be honest there's little difference to my curent 850R despite a number of years between them.

 

I want an XC70 (cross country) to tow as I'm going to tow the 205 to the track next year if I can.

As Andrew stated, they're the ones i use. That's pretty much it tbh!

 

& the 850'll tow fine Andrew!

Thanks chaps, well I collect the car this weekend.

[MrG 3]

I was thinking an Estate would be better than the saloon however if I can't locate a good one I'll have a bar put on mine!

 

Well done Jonny, so whats happening the Audi?

[Atari Boy 11]

The Audi should be collected later today, I am doing a few more miles than I anticipaated at the moment and 18 mpg is just too painful at the pumps.

I hope to get 30 mpg out of the Volvo with luck.
