Considering it's a red one and red cars go faster than others does that mean this volvo reached 40mph?

**sclarke** · 5th August 2006, 05:51 PM

40mph Just...................lol

For those who know abit about Euro cars....... the Volvo 164 Manual in injected form was a genuine 123mph car and quarter mile in 15.5sec..... depending on traction on the day......
I rallied one exactly the same and my claim to fame was i could beat a Stock GTHO to 90mph...... then they roared past.......
it was 240hp and 4.11 gears...... made it very tough off the line... but no top end...
Ohh i could go on for hours about what i did and what events i had some fun in..... ahh nothing better than the look on a WRX drivers face when you pass them on the outside of a corner......

I know what they can do, just picking on you cause it's a VOLVO. Do you wear THE hat when you pass the WRX's? Now that would be funny

A PRB clubman composite, I'd just need to loose a few kilo's to fit my fat body into it

When you put the key in the ignition the Hat lowers down from the headlining......

The most fun I've had on 4 wheels, and yes I fit into them! More room than most small cars!

I once drove a fully worked ex NSW highway patrol car that had a high ratio diff, straight cut gearbox, super hot exhaust and sticky race rubber. The shreik and vibration was incredible but it was like a gokart with plates and a roof. Seriously fun. The best bit is that $10K can get an awful lot of Mini you can fit more of them in the shed.

While I can appreciate cars of interest, what I can't understand is how normal mortals can justify $50K or more in a car when less than $20K can get you some of the most fascinating two wheeled machinery.
