[quote=My T5;180646]Hi,not mine mate but ive seen it recently.Very nice.[/quote] Hey an Isle of Wight community of Volvo owners has formed, by gum I wasn't expecting that sat as I am here at 2am pootling about the webternet. I've got a green T5-R 4 door and I love it. New to volvos after owning a yellow NSX and purple Skyline GTR and some other twinturbos along the way. Nice to meet you guys, allbeit virtually - whatcha drivin' burchi? :smileypul
Hi Senna Nice previous car list you've got there! I'm sure you won't regret the T5-R as well... Quality cars. I drive a 2004 V70R. Absolute money pit but it's great fun. Was over on the IOW that weekend visiting the Outlaws but was in the wife's V50 D5 for the weekend. I get over there about 2 or 3 times a year. Perhaps we could arrange an IOW mini meet someday. Regards Ian
Did any of you go to the classic car show at Newport a year or two ago - I did, and it was absolutely brilliant. I will definitely try and go again some time! Jeff.
Thought we'd had an influx of immigrants for a while. Didn't see any of you!! LOL
My parents now have a house in West Cowes (and a nautic blue V70 ten valve)

[quote=jimka;181820]Glen? :)[/quote] Aye, hardly a inconspicuous line up of cars heheh ;) Who dat? :)
Went to the show today at Ryde sea front. they do a two day event. First on the Quay at Newport on Saturday second as per today. Total lack of Volvos. I used to have a P1800 which could have gone. Would have expected 120s and similar. Maybe "old" Volvos aren't a hit over here. Austin 7s Moggies,Triumphs, yes. Volvos no!!Anyne on here go this year!?

Jeff.[/quote] I quite liked it, no volvos but a cool line in smokin' Deloreans - just something about that car. My brother had the tricked out one follow him home and I said he should have goaded him into a race up the motorway - 88mph and blam - irresponsible I know but with the added advantage of one of the cars disappearing before the police's very eyes and we all know one car cannot be done for road racing on the highways now don't we readers ;);) We ought to get the Volvos up together for next year, i know a few people if you are up for it ?? Cool. Glen
Would we qualify re "Classic". Could well set up meet! Slight hi-jack... Red 855T5 Reg. "BUD", Newport (Nine Acres School) today. On here??

My poorly car that hasnt moved for a week due to a dead fuel pump and now a flat battery.Im applying for planning permission soon and hope to open it up as a money pit!!!What do you drive? and ill look out for you.Have i spoken to you before on here before the big crash?My user name was Thing. Good to speak to a local. As for the "classic" car show,I saw an embarrassing civic with a huge body kit in primer that was about m reg,a Lotus Carlton which was very nice but a classic?,a brand new Fiat 500 and a 90's Nissan Skyline r33 v-spec kicking out 400 bhp! It was a brilliant car show that gets bigger every year that would benefit from a few Volvos next year for definate!!! Can anyone define Classic?
We have "spoken" before! Good to know where you are! Have Blue C70 Coupe, Wootton. Also use son's S2000, wife's Civic. If I can be of help, (not sure how though!!) pm me!
