As far as Turbo Volvos go, ask Billy Forsyth what he thinks of them. Until he blew his up for the second time and was presented with a National Debt style bill, he thought they were the best thing on the road. Now he drives a Suzuki Swift and reckons it runs rings around the old Swedish barge. He ended up giving the Volvo away.

Doing it wrong!
400,000kms++ is normal from a motor, even the B230FTs which are the most fragile.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

I'm using the same frame, tank and a similar tail section in my current Benelli project so this is a good indication of how it should look....


well the use of Benelli engine is certainly unique.... Tornado or Sei. ?

Yeah the modern Triumph motor has a heap of uses yet to be discovered, I am thinking Vetter Digger frame chopper.....

Tornado 650 Marc....A Sei might just be a bit of overkill in a dirt tracker ;D.

Doing it wrong!
........I don't know what Bill would do wrong Nathan, he's been around cars and bikes forever as you well know and he'd owned Volvos for decades. If you'd ever been in a car with him you'd also realise the only thing missing was the bowls set in the back and the hat. He's a really conservative motorist...... Anyway, It's not that it blew up that was the main problem...the repair bill is what killed it, and Bill was calling in the old mate network from within the motorsports community and still couldn't bring in a decent estimate. That car really broke his heart, he truly wanted to remain loyal to Volvo but that piece of shit wouldn't let him.

Yeah so there Nathan, plus nobody tatoos Volvo on their arm, but you might like to be the first to try  ;D

Imagine walking into Miami ink and asking for Volvo in the middle of a broken heart, Kat would laugh her ass off.

And so you should Tim. Every Aussie should experience the exhilaration of driving a Holden one tonner at speed in the wet. Real bloke stuff ;). I had a 253 4sp HQ 1 tonner that was the literally best bike hauler I ever had. I buggered it fitting a 454 Chevy/turbo700 when the little 253 was more than enough to do the job. It's one of the many really stupid things I've done in my life.

Its like you can't call yourself a real Aussie unless you have untangled Holden gear linkages in the poring rain at night/ tonner is essentially Australian. Volvo is about as Australian as blokes wearing male cosmetics.... it happens but we have names for those people.

Sorry, I can't see any thinking going on there at all… Just two self absorbed, attention seekers desparately hoping that somebody is watching.

Yuk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember reading that it was 11 yr old girls, actually. Not that it makes it any less appalling.
