Spotted in Witney town multi story parked on an almost empty level 5 yesterday lunchtime, anyone here? if so when you came back you might have noticed a scabby looking black C70 convertible (Mine) lol
Mint motor! a credit to the owner.
Thank you for the kind words and photo. She is lovingly looked after and is my pride and joy, never abused and always kept very clean. She enjoys eating any spare cash i have... New steering rack, cam belt, prop shaft referb, to name a few of many. Serviced every 6 months. Drove to Bulgaria last year, 5000 mile round trip and not a murmer from her, very impressed with the toughness of these cars. I did spot your C70 lol! and i did wonder if you were a fellow lover of Volvo's. Nice motor i noticed that you like to keep yours more au natural lol! I would love to hear everyone else thinks.. Like?.. Dislike? many thanks.
Looks good!

NOt a bad start mate
not a bad car at all, not so keen on the Ferrari badges tho, you should be proud of having Volvo badges on!! lol
Thats a lovely looking motor you have there iancho.....yes, i think there arent many that either dont love eating our cash or did at some point lol, its a good job we love them hey otherwise......
very true volvo... I dread to think what mine has cost me over the years, quite frightening! Worth it though.

[quote=iancho;424172]I did spot your C70 lol! and i did wonder if you were a fellow lover of Volvo's.[/quote] I actually have a VPCUK Sticker but too embarrassed to put it on! Lol Maybe one day I'll find the cash to sort her out but with no job currently money is tight
Nice car... and Im assuming those are moose badges and not as incorrectly stated ferrari badges.... Not enough folks with the moose fitted. Strange really cos they add at least 8,000 bhp, and only cost a few quid :-) Shes looking great, save up and buy some 18" nebulas.... ahhhhh lush !

Here for all your prancing moose badge based needs.
Very nice!!
[quote=ncarnall;424206]Problem I have parking in an almost empty carpark is choosing a space! no problem choosing when busy lol![/quote] Lol! I always park in that same space and i have been waiting 4 years to be 'Spotted'! Sods law that i should park like that when she makes her debut on the internet! Lmao

And yes at least 8000 bhp! She is RICA chipped up to 310bhp so i think she deserves the Moose stickers... and she certainly gets some confused looks! lol
[quote=ncarnall;424205]Keeping mine "au Natural" as you politely put it disguises the fact that she needs a complete make over and respray Lol are you a local to the town or a day visitor?[/quote] 4 miles away from Witney

[quote=ncarnall;424207]I actually have a VPCUK Sticker but too embarrassed to put it on! Lol Maybe one day I'll find the cash to sort her out but with no job currently money is tight[/quote] You should put the sticker! lol I know what you mean about cash and i hope ypu find a job soon, there is nothing worse than being out of work, the bordem and frustration. I have 2 children and my wife is very kind to let me keep the volvo so its a big thank you to her for letting me have fun. Thats her nickname on the number plate out of respect for her kindness! Hope you find something soon my friend, your C70 is well nice mate!
[quote=t5frankie;424288]Oh dear who wants to tell him?[/quote] Tell me what? Remember this is just light hearted fun... Nothing to serious!
Your Rica 310 isnt 310 BHP. Its a marketing ploy. The Rica 310 is more like 285. You would need to get it on a rolling road to confirm power output but if the only mod is a Rica 310 remap then its extremely unlikely that you have 310 BHP....... Sorry :-( But dont worry you have mooses... so whats 25hp when you have 8,000 to play with :-)

Spotted again on level 5 (Last friday pm) Still way cleaner than mine and a real eye catcher of a motor.
I'm surprised you take a chance in a multi storey with such a nice car - tight spaces, idiots who swing doors without looking and all that. its one of the best at the moment.

We never usually go to Witney for our Shopping but the wife wanted some breaded chicken from Marks & Sparks... One day we will bump into each other as this has been going on for too long lol :doh:

Level 5 is always quite empty thats why we take the risk and both park there Jamie, thats my biggest fear when finding a space i drive the wife mad... Bube has come along way since then, even the Headlight Wipers were still on lol :)

Looking spotless as usual! puts mine to shame :(
[QUOTE=ncarnall;604419]Seems that way mate!

YUM!... ;-) I ALWAYS look out for your motor but have yet to see it around Witney... Flash me if you see me as they have V Power in Witney now so it saves me driving to Oxford.
[QUOTE=ncarnall;604422]Looking spotless as usual! puts mine to shame :([/QUOTE] I've got too much time on my hands lol

[QUOTE=iancho;604429]Have you ever tried the Yum Yum's? They are delicious![/QUOTE] The original M&S Yum Yums are lovely, only problem is trying to to eat the whole packet in one go!
