The Volvo thread

[Joey Shabadoo]

It is very much 5 pot. Count the manifold branches.

Oh I counted them alright. Do Volvo save money by supplying partial engines?

Has 1 fallen off?

Nope Volvo like to do it differently!
They did do a 6pot which whilst more powerful that the 5pot never really gained much support.

No, they please customers by selling is 5 pots with dirty great turbos. Anything smaller is for weaklings, anything larger is for the small of undercarriage.

Because straight sixes are for cads and bounders!

I had a couple of xc90 good tanks!

Had a MK1 v70 (850 facelifted) 2.0 dull horrid thing needs a turbo to get it going tbh.

Couldn't afford one now!!

£310 pass with advisory of front suspension bushes….verbally he said they’re not dangerous but get them done before Xmas. Ideally within a few months. Nothing else…treated her to a seat leather clean…I’d of cleaned the whole car in/out but haven’t got the time this weekend 🤯

Taking the C70 vert to a car show on Sunday. Usual drill - roof down, park upm deploy folding chairs and drink beer and eat crisps until 4pm, whereupon we pack it all away and Mrs D drives us home..

I was thinking about starting a thread for us Toyota drivers but there's not much to say. Fill petrol tank and drive it. Give it an occasional clean.

Toyota drivers have more time to enjoy an active sex life as we spend less time fixing our cars!

But us Volvo owners are seen as rugged, practical, yet sensitive types by the laydees. So, while we don't have so much time we are spoiled for choice.

Guess where I am?
