Well, its been great whilst i have been here, but its time to call an end to the stripped out volvo that i was loving, clutch number 3 has gone bang, gearbox number 2 isnt sounding healthy, so im calling it a day, if I cant get it reliable on the road, there is no way it is going to live on the track. So I am afraid my friends, that I am changing brands, to a saab.

I will post soon what is being removed from the car, some of the highlights are clear front indicators, 2 sets of 15" 5 spoke alloys, koni adjustable shocks, pi springs, etc, but will generate a list.

mate how hard do ya drive it
I really don't think (unless you spend more dosh and I mean lots)
A 480 will ever be the best track car although it has to be said it has
masses of potential

however pile in the dosh and look great on
the track driving a true modern classic

What the hell have you been doing to it??

Benji · Post by **Benji** » Tue Mar 29, 2005 5:31 pm

Wow, you guys really do want it still warm.

What have i been doing, driving how i always do, hard and on the limit, the only way i know how, dont drink, dont smoke, so have to unwind somehow.

At the minute, the car i was going to get the bloke has just sold it before i got there, despite telling him i was coming.

I am looking at a saab 900 turbo.

I duly note all those interested in parts, and will those people please pm me how much they wish to pay (please dont be insultingly low).

I don't drink or smoke and I still drive at the speed limit, well except when I'm following Gaz in his T4

Any chance I can still have that luggage cover you promised me Benji,before the vultures swoop?

Sorry to hear you're giving up

Hope you'll still pay us saddo's a visit from time to time

Good luck with the Saab - I had a 9000 a while ago, cracking car!!

The advantages of a live transplant as apposed to a cadaveric transplant is that the organs used are much fresher and are less likely to be rejected......
