I took these a few weeks ago as Chad's car was finally back on the road after 6 and a half years. (Well 9 months ish).
Because I've been busy with this and that I've only just got around to uploading them.
Here they are anyway:
Please excuse the quality of my resizing.....really need to sort those settings
Some really good shots there Richard, good image composure too. Make a pro of you yet!
[quote=The Flying Moose;385920]Some really good shots there Richard, good image composure too. Make a pro of you yet![/quote] Problem was with a complete lack of flash units. It was also windy but Chad made a good reflector holder lol.
would have been alot better without the s60 in the photos lol
[quote=t5frankie;385923]would have been alot better without the s60 in the photos lol[/quote] Yeah with its modern curvy looks.....so un-volvo lol
[quote=t5frankie;385923]would have been alot better without the s60 in the photos lol[/quote] I disagree, I know which I would rather own if I had the money... its not Saffron!
[quote=santa20;385921]Problem was with a complete lack of flash units. It was also windy but Chad made a good reflector holder lol.[/quote] was a good attempt, we should try a less windy day/evening next time..lol timing the shots with everytime the wind settled was interesting.....lol
i know which one looks better and it aint the s60r nearly looks the same as a standard t5 although i would love one but richards is enough to put anyone off owning one lol
how much for a full respray chad? on an s70r and a v70r please
Them pics r well good!
Both cars looking very smart, great choice of shots too. Well done guys.
i'd get rid of those indicators though chad with the orange bits inside

I'd even contemplated badging it up as a D5 and changing the alloys in the past lol

I like both cars for different reasons, indeed one day I'd like one of the last V70R's in grey, don't think you could call yourself a true Volvo lover without owning the most powerful factory R produced tbh... And no the r design doesn't count and I don't care what you think they're not real R's...

I must say that as and when my Finances Permit I will without doubt be Purchasing a late 06/07 S60/V70R. That era of Volvo is my favourite and by far the most comfortable. As much as many may dislike them I have always had a soft spot for the orange interiors. Ideal car... V70R in Black with Orange leather and Sat-nav package.
Phase 2 R's are getting cheaper all the time. Seen S60R manuals at £3.5k before and V70R's hitting the £5k ish mark. Lots of car for the money
i should bring mine down then you could of had old then middle the new .now that is an idea .but they are nice pics though weldone mate
[quote=smithy;385962]i should bring mine down then you could of had old then middle the new .now that is an idea .but they are nice pics though weldone mate[/quote] thats an excellent idea mr smithy.

[quote=santa20;386034]P reg was 97 wasn't it? So 14 years[/quote] yeah same as mine 1997
Yeah Smithy's 940 is newer than my 95'T5R, bloody scammers :)
he keeps going on about beating people in his old 940 where in fact its alot newer than alot of the motors on here lol
Nice pics. Where is this G.R.N motorsports place?
[quote=t5frankie;386057]he keeps going on about beating people in his old 940 where in fact its alot newer than alot of the motors on here lol[/quote] yes but mine is the last of the line oldtech rwd motors that purists say are the last proper volvos,and mine is an 8v redblock at the end of the day
[quote=santa20;386032]Problem is all the cars bar a few will be dirty lol[/quote] my car is always clean and polished mate so the old girl might show you all up lol

both looking very sweet!!.. i need a S60 >.< lol
tasty!! are they 17s chad look so good with them brakes makes me want some,,,lol
nice pics
Nice pictures bud, she's a beaut! loving those brakes :)
Those Coloured covered cals look great Chad with the Black wheels. So soon a p2 R will be cheaper than a V70R classic. but if a p2 goes wrong you could be so out of pocket.
