Group of Corvette owners out the front of my Art Gallery on the Walk. Was admiring the Chevs and one guy asked me if the S1 was a Volvo.

I literally got a "nice volvo mate" comment last weekend. Definite face-palm moment but I immediately thought of this thread. :/

LOL, I was looking at this thread just last night and noticed that there hadn't been any activity in it for ages, then you post in here! :blink::merli:

Had a couple in the last few days.


My brothers, mates, dad to my dad -> "bit odd of Nick to buy a Volvo, looks nice though..."

Told a mate loading some stuff into his sedan that he needed a wagon... he goes "yeah well I saw your volvo down there, a bit jealous of the boot space"


Same guy as above today after looking at the car a bit closer "ahh its not a volvo its a skyline..." I just laughed haha

Picked up my c34 yesterday and on the way home on the highway a couple of guys in a volvo 850 were checking out the stag as they went past... maybe thought they made the wrong decision over which wagon to buy :P

Went for my bike license on the weekend, c34 in the car park, instructor starts telling us what to look out for? Then says hate to say it but I use to always look out for, opens the blinds and says who drives the Volvo? I was not impressed

Gents (and Ladies, if there are any on the Internet), I have sobering news. The M35 has been decreed a van by my son's primary school teacher - "Will you be bringing the van along again?" she asked recently when arranging a school trip.

She's American though so her taste in vehicles is suspect anyway.

As you were.

On our Stagea cruise the other day, when we sat down for lunch at Trackside I just happened to run into my uncle and ended up seated with my back to him. Had a quick chat to him and found out he was the new owner of the bright red Mercedes A200 parked out the front of the restaurant.

He asked me what I was driving, and if it was still the car I'd been spending money doing up (I haven't seen him in a few years). I said yep; he asked which car it was; I pointed it out; and he says "What, the Volvo?"

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
