Taking the piss

[Davey Crocket]

I don't think they would take there (have taken) there kids to a formal in a ice Vovo....your a cruel man just like oldfart said.

Brock is one record saying that his Volvo 850 was the car that really impressed him.
Richards is on record saying that the Volvo S40 was the best race car he'd ever driven.

My five year old son is on record saying that my shitbox Mazda RX-2 rally car is "so cool" after I spun it twice in the back yard.
My three year old daughter is on record saying that she wants to get out of the exact same RX-2...
Both children are on record saying "stop driving like mummy" when I've given my S40 T4 a bootful.

Volvo for life.

I've had three distinctly different Volvos a fifties PV444 given to me by my cocaine dealing land lady, a 122 wagon with a 142 motor given to me by a friend when nobody would accept it as a trade in and a 144 wagon we bought almost new. I enjoyed them for the honest, reliable and very basic transport that they were but I've moved on to cars with a tad more soul.

No soul?

LOL .. I'm astounded by exactly how far you knuckle heads will go to:

A) Get as far off topic as you can; and

B) Sledge the shit out of each other

We aim to please

Do you/have you owned a Volvo Simo?.....

Do you/have you owned a Volvo Simo?.....

No, never had the pleasure    Now so get back on the original topic will ya

[firko]

  Now so get back on the original topic will ya

I'd have thought we were on topic .
Tim, as nice as the P1800 looks and even considering its Simon Templar connection, it'd have to be one of the more disappointing cars I've driven....Britt Ekland looks with 115 hp engine doesn't make a sports car. Sports cars need sports engines.

Context changes, Firko... I can see why a new 140 in the early 70s could have been considered to be lacking in soul, but drive one now and you'll probably reassess.
They also have a strong sporting character and surprising chassis balance, which is initially hidden by the soft springs and bicycle tyres - it's sort of like the conservative aunty who turns into a party animal after a couple of drinks...

Now that I think about it, Davey, I went to my formal in a Camira... 

[EML]

Coulda been worse....coulda been at Camira!!

You can get a piston made from forged billet for around $300. A mate of mine who modifies just about everything with a combustion chamber gets his pistons made and has never had a problem. If you need a contact number, let me know.

I would like the details if thats ok

I'll get onto my mate who has the details and put them up.
