alloys off v70r

The Volvo 480 looks good as is, but if you have the desire to give it a more personal look you can find out what others did to their 480 and be inspired.

V70 wheels (and revised 850) wheels are 5 stud fitment. 480's are 4 stud i'm afraid.

And 18" wheels on a 480 are a bad idea unfortunately-just too big to work well. :(

Ad, they're 15" not 18" and you know they're Cetus and not Pegasus!

:?

(and it says they came off a 440... have you been on the grog??)

Lol, like that vodka-laced pint martin was too drunk to drink? Seems a bit mean now, but we'd all had a few and such things become more appealing...

Takes me back to when me (at the age of 16!) and 2 friends worked down a cocktail list one night at our local wetherspoons. There were like 12 different cocktails and we had a pitcher between us of each...*reminisces back to the days when wetherspoon pubs had a decent cocktail list...*

Only cost £5 a pitcher because we ordered all the pitchers before 8! Bargain!

No, I've had my fair share of Long Island Iced Tea....
Basically it's my default cocktail for getting poofaced.
