Hope you have a turbo on yours............

The track will be the Nurembeoxford ring road!!

PS. no you can't bring your Caravan
Tickets? How much, where from.

Oh and I'll have a tenner on the 740. By the time you've warmed your Turbo up, the 740 will have hit you up the back, set your airbags off and while you're picking up the ABS plastic off the road, Badger will be slowly cruising to victory with a mere scratch on the bumper, Adjusting his flatcap and pipe so as to look smart and respectable whilst crossing the finish line, parking up at his caravan for a nice cup of rosie lea.

I take it you were on about banger racing?


C'mon 700/900 series! I passed about 20 of em on the way back from camping up Norfolk the past week! There's gotta be more of you on the forum!

Well at this stage it looks like the FWD girls are the most prevalent, [S Connery voice] Shome Mishtake Shurely?[/S Connery voice]

Look, just because they are the most popular amongst those who have bothered to vote doesn't mean that they are best.......

Anyway, it just proves that FWD is common.....

Ahem, I think you'll find that "Shome mishtake shurely?" is copyright of Private Eye. Allegedly.

Hmmmm. Don't see any 4x4 options in here which is surprising since the XC90 is currently the top selling Volvo.......
