So the story goes - The fiancee wanted a dog, I wanted a fast car - So the V70 was bought!
Not had it long but had alot of problems with the previous owner telling porkies - Just getting back on the straight and narrow with it no so thought I'd join up on here.
Only pic I have atm is from the for sale ad - So far ive debadged, put plain plates on ( I hate GB stickers) and booked it in for Athracite wheel refurb and light tints to the rear. Along with a suspension overhaul!

Another local p2, you coming to the southern meet
Post 734801 by Ettienne on 2014-09-12 10:37:45
Thinking about it, where did you pick that car up from I may know the previous owner if it was local. His was an auto and had a small amount of damage.

Not an auto - mines a 6sp, came from down near Brighton.

Welcome :) (I think I saw you driving through Hartley Witney earlier in the week?)
Post 734831 by muggins86 on 2014-09-12 13:15:57
Probably so as I work in Reading, so when I drive in I go via Fleet and Hartley Wintney and up.

'Ello :)
The southern meet is just off the M27, J2 at the Vine inn.
Nice motor and we could probably have a look at some of your problems while we're there.

And the R stands for the noise the mechanic makes when you show up at his garage with a split liner and FWD :saythat:
