Just to say a big hello from Sunny Spain ! [ATTACH=CONFIG]27072[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27073[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27074[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27075[/ATTACH] This is my current collection !! I also have a 1978 264 which im about to start restoring and i´ll upload photos of the progress i make.
Nice collection, welcome to the club.
Very nice cars there (although I'm not so sure about the orange wheels and black bonnet but each to their own lol) Welcome aboard :)
Hola amigo y bienvenue. :D
Thanks for the welcome ! Sorry about the Orange wheels and the carbon fibre bonnet but .... I always go against the norm ! It's a 2001 t5 with around 325 BHP and ... Well I just want it to be a little different !! I'm planning a repaint in Rebel Blue but keeping the carbon bonnet , carbon wrapped roof and boot lid. The wheels may go back to textured black as it seems to be attracting a lot of attention from the Guardia ...... Although that could be my driving !!! ����
Welcome :)
welcome to the club, what turbo you running to reach those sort of bhp figures on the s60? :mischievo
Welcome along, where shouts are you in Spain, I do a lot of track visits to motorland (Barcelona area) and navara circuit (los arcos)

Hi and welcome! Glad to see some 480 action. Some of us secretly love them on here! I've got a 2.0 Celebration (last of the line) and another lad has a Turbo, neither are in anywhere near the condition of yours though! I'm sure Jamesy will be along soon to say hi!! :D Out of interest, what size tyres are you running on the 17s? I've just bought some for mine and was wandering what size tyres I could get away with. Is yours lowered at all? Any rubbing??
Welcome! loveing the 960 and that is a nice 480. not seen a good condition one in a long long time!
