Well I don't know if it goes for or against me here, but I became an avid Radio 4 listener as soon as I picked up my first volvo as that was all I could get with a broken ariel, hahahaa, well Richard I do believe we should see you at the next meet, foggy ryan and I should all be turning up, possibly with partners in tow.

I hope this debate does encourage the different camps to look at each other in a more friendly light, I have to say when I turned up at the first meet I was made to feel very welcome by everyone,

well lets see who else joins in this debate!!!

Regards Andi

Well Alec how about this for a not very serious suggestion?

In addition to the club having VOC baseball caps for the younger members, how about flat caps with VOC / BOF embroidered on them ?
Could also look good on the footplate !

Regards, Richard.

You youngsters will have a problem in years to come. When the BOFs were boy racers baseball caps were only worn by the Yanks. Now as you progress from BY to BOF when will you know to discard the baseball cap for the flat cap!!!

I wear mine on the horses mike!!! hahaha, I ride derbyshire hills in tweed and a flat cap, long boots and britches, and that's no joke!!!

Hahahahahaha, I thought the boy racers of today wore those 'beanie' hat things (tea cosies to everyone else)

This is an interesting debate. That I may of played some part in sparking. I would like to apologise to tunning Red Block as I did not mean my coments to be recieved this way. They were not ment to be discoraging. I also was unaware of how bad the car was and if I was in your shoes would have done the same thing, in fact i have dismantled quite a few volvo's for spare I have needed to keep mine going. As some one else said better to see one stripped than two on a brakers yard or were I live they just crush em. You should check my details though as I am only 21 and my first car at 18 was a 245. I have nothing against modding infact I am modding my own car.

Webber carb with 740 manifold + did away with the E.G.R
lowering the whole car (although only can aford to do the rear at the mo:-)
I have added the usuale GLT grill and black trim + Clear indicator clusters
My car has a Jatex air filter which I highly recomend!
I have also made it so I can run the newer wheels at the moment it is on V90 multi spoke wheels which I had refinnished like the civic type R wheels in a metallic dark gray colur which look's LUSH!

Any way what I'm tying to say is I think we are trying to achieve the same things and would probably get on well so I am sorry if you thought I was rubbishing your project that was my bad! Good luck with your car and I hope we can meet at some point and talk Volvo.

Sounds like a damn good idea to me!!

Steve, there is absolutely no need to appologise, I may have read your comments wrong, It was a bad week for negative comments, I'd had quite a few regarding the 245 and a few regarding a gtriumph I'd finished, hey when we eventually put a face to each others face's I'll buy the first round.

Regards Andi.

P.S, don't forget to keep the forum updated with your project
