Track & Race Car Magazine - This months centre spread article!
Hi All,
It's finally hit the street.... This months Track & Race Car Magazine is out and features a centre spread of what they discribe on the front cover as "Track Testing The UK's Best Volvo Touring Cars" I refer of course to the day in July that Don Norchi & a crowd of us went to Bruntingthorpe and his S60 the fastest FWD time around the TRC test circuit ever! I have scanned my copy for your reading pleasure.... There are six pages of this, and you can only have 5 attachments on the thread, so I've placed links to the pages below. http://www.t5r.org/images/TrackRace/page1.jpg http://www.t5r.org/images/TrackRace/page2.jpg http://www.t5r.org/images/TrackRace/page3.jpg http://www.t5r.org/images/TrackRace/page4.jpg http://www.t5r.org/images/TrackRace/page5.jpg http://www.t5r.org/images/TrackRace/page6.jpg Enjoy!

RE: Track and Race Car Magazine - This months centre spread article!
Phil, thanks for posting this. Let's hope that we can get the picture issue sorted soon and get photos on the forum. It's great to see Volvos in Track and Race Car Magazine, especially when they belong to forum and club members. Don congratulations on your car making the fwd record round the TRC test circuit. That's something else!

RE: Track & Race Car Magazine - This months centre spread article!
Fantastic article and some excellent pictures.
That is a storming S60 you have there Don!! I would love to try an S60 with a dog box, it would be quite a different experience. Nice to see Phil's machine in there too. Hopefully once you have framed the artical Phil, your wife will let you hang it up somewhere other than on the wall in 'the toilet that no-one uses' ;) lol. Later, Dan |

What happened to the article and pictures please?
No mention on t5r.org that I can find and the .jpg links result in 'file not found'. TVM.
