considering a Merc V8 has a considerable power advantage over a Volvo straight six, yet the Volvo doesn't get left behind... Yeah, right! Eat my dust, Volvo scum...  Yes but your Merc's probably lighter than my Volvo as well, and I didn't mention that this particular Merc driver wasn't the greatest of drivers, this particular big Merc (an S class, I think it was a V8) really didn't seem to be able to get away from me. Alright, while we're slating what I said, this was in real world conditions on a damp backroad, where neither the Lancia nor the Volvo could be driven the way they are on test tracks, but nonetheless I think the fact that the Volvo put up a good fight proves that they're not as lardy as they're made out to be. I should add that although we were both driving pretty briskly (and aware that each other were) we weren't pushing them to the very limit, because on a damp backroad it's not really sensible to push the car quite to the limit, but fair point everyone who's slating me, I'll retract my comments before this thread gets ridiculous and any more off topic. |

A lot of talk about buying this!
7 years SORNed lots of welding and a replaced fuel pump she passed the MOT second attempt. Failed on broken spring and uneven braking on rear axle.
A bit of a rolling restoration.
Lots planned.
Car had full Volvo service stamps till converted and a lot of history of servicing and parts fitted.
Was built by or for someone who worked for Prodrive Subaru. I'd like to find out which!
The guy I bought it from took the Subaru wheels and adaptors off.
Now my daily!

That's foreign language to me  , i use a picture host, used Photobucket but that's now complete garbage, use imgur now, upload pics onto that then post link on here, dead easy. Looking forward to seeing the pics, missed this thread first time around  |
