Hi all, I'm a newbie here but I've been reading the forums for a little while. I too have come over from VOC, to be honest the type of person and the attitude of some of them on there really isn't me I much prefere the conversation and laughs on here. I drive a 1997 V70 2.5 non turbo, granted it's not the fastest but I do love the car I've also just had to have the clutch and DMF changed as that catastrophically failed the other week. I've also just given her a quick spruce up pics to follow Regards Sooty Image Image Image

Welcome to the forum, very tidy looking car.

Thanks guys I do enjoy detailing the car, it's a bit sad I know but we've all got to have our hobbies. I couldn't just get rid of it I like the car too much although it was a hard choice as the repairs came to what the car is worth possibly more. I'm a big fan of the Tethys alloys but I need to get some spacers for the rear and lock stops for the front as they're rubbing a bit and its MOT time next month.

Shiny shiny, that is one clean looking car . Good to see another survivor of VOC shipwreck scRambling out onto the rocks. Lol They are much more car orientated on here.

[QUOTE=500tie;769754]Many thanks for the welcomes. Tomcat how's the R coming along mate nearly back up and running? Did that guy ever show up for the S90[/QUOTE] Yeah the S90 finally got collected lol, not heard from him since so I'm presuming that he's happy with it. Mines due to get put back together in the next week or two, just acquiring all the bits i need at the moment, thanks for asking.

[QUOTE=500tie;769814]Told you I was a massive geek Dave but thanks dude yours looks pretty good too[/QUOTE] You are not a geek if you describe yourself as one .. Geeks dont know they are geeks , they just wonder why everyone else doesnt have 500 star wars figures that are all very slightly different .. And what they might say if they ever met a girl.

Glad the bloke finally rocked up to collect the S90 and it's probably a good thing you haven't heard from him, from what I gather most people who buy cheap cars these days want everything for nothing it would seem.
