Mmm, I think black eyed man is envious. Maybe he would be happier with the creaky, squealy, squeaking VP if he got rid of his creaky, squealy, squeaking kids, lol.

Spotted this Volvo in a Maccas drive thru the other week; gave him a toot & told him to get out of the way... Also saw this sweet NM35 while I was driving up a hill a couple of days ago.

was getting out of mine at the shops the other day, just parked and left motor idling while closing windows and sunroof's and some 40 odd year old lady walked past the front (had reversed into carpark) and gave me the dirtiest look possible, ie as if i'd gotten out and taken a s**t in the middle of the carpark or something. then got to her car bout 3 spots down, by which time i was out and just with a slightly raised voice said. just cause u can't afford it, she looked up and i turned and walked. found it quite amusing though was half expecting an abusive note or smashed window when i came back.

Hahaha, I get this every day... Most of the time it's from 60+ year olds in standard M35s, and I drive past them laying frame and throwing sparks... The digust I get thrown my way is awesome

Dont worry, we all understand. :P

So the other night in Pt. Pirie I thought I'd get some fuel and a icecream, on my return from paying I find a rather drunk local standing (swaying actually) in front of my a car with a big smile on his face and chuckling to himself. "All good?" i say to him and he goes "F!@# Yeah, thats cool car hey bro" then proceeds to walk away while still focused on my car. Well you can guess what happened next, yep, BAM!!! straight into the petrol pump in the next row, falls on his arse, then tries to get up by pulling on the hose that is now on the ground!

Was the funniest thing I seen while I was there

Motorbike rider at the lights today pulls up next to me and asks "How hard was it to put the Pioneer deck in? I've got a Blue M35!" Ahaha before he said he had a blue M35 I was like "wtf does this guy want".

Seems a lot of bike dudes are into Stageas!

Getting back to Volvos....

We now have two in the family... Well a silver/grey M35 does count as a XC70 really...

Finally after 160k the wifes Saab 9-5 is now gone, and replaced with this... Still a 2.5 and a turbo...:thumbsup:

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
