Hi all, just gone a bought myself a Volvo V70 T5 and thought I'd introduce myself :) Names Ciaran. Only 19 years of age. Owned 6 cars ( 4 were french! ) and finally got myself a decent car. Love everything about it and hope to meet a few people on here :)

My insurance when I was 18 on my V70 4 years ago was around £1800, and that's not even a T5!

Welcome to the forum.
welcome to vpcuk!
Thanks for the welcome :) Yeah there are a few volvos in my area and I get recommended by one of my friends with a black T5R to join this club! here's a few pics. Only a week old as I found her on a farm abandoned. Time to rescue her, get her through an mot and get it back on the road :D Will keep everyone updated and post pics of how she is coming along :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]27604[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27605[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27606[/ATTACH]
[QUOTE=AcidicDavey;750291]My insurance when I was 18 on my V70 4 years ago was around £1800, and that's not even a T5![/QUOTE] My insurance is also £1800 approx, but for the T5. Although I do have an accident declared on my insurance for when I crashed my old 306. Rookies mistake. Shouldnt have bought a french car haha
I have also started a build thread if anyone wanted to follow its progress :D http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/showthread.php?58302-The-White-Shadow-build-thread-)&p=750324#post750324
1800 quid insurance, no offence but that can't be far off the value of the car...madness
[QUOTE=jamesy12345;750326]1800 quid insurance, no offence but that can't be far off the value of the car...madness[/QUOTE] None taken, But I have paid worse haha. It's not actually too bad, considering the amount of car for my age :) Remember I am still only 19 ha. My 306 was Over 2k insurance along side my Mitsubishi and 406. Much happier with this car and everything it has to offer :)
I forgot how high these sit on plod suspension :eek:
[QUOTE=M-R-P;750343]I forgot how high these sit on plod suspension :eek:[/QUOTE] Don't remind me haha. I want to change so the car is lower, but part of me wants to keep the suspension, just add bigger better wheels :D
Welcome to the forum, don't worry your insurance will go down if you ever get to be as old as me lol
[QUOTE=ovloVolvo;750353]Don't remind me haha. I want to change so the car is lower, but part of me wants to keep the suspension, just add bigger better wheels :D[/QUOTE] Easy trick is to remove the nivomat shocks from the back, sell them for about 100 quid on fleabay then use the money to pay back the person you borrowed 60 quid from to buy standard shocks. This'll lower the back end a little and at least level the car off. You'll lose the huge load carrying capacity tho.
Welcome, we're not all ancient, although I'm feeling much older lately. Lol
Yeah, tell me about it :worried: Wish I had a T5 when I was your age, I had a Mini 850 lol

Welcome to the fold, I'm sure you'll enjoy the car :)
