Isn't Mount Edgecombe in Devon as is Plymouth, as your in Plymouth It would be nice to have meets around the middle of Cornwall. I've no objection of travlin to Plymouth but not once-a-month. Or are you refuring to the Hospice in St.Austal? now that'll be good.

But on petrol and those who are retired, it'll be expensive.
Newquay's alway a good bet, can't get lost going there

fror · Mar 27th, 2010, 23:26

no never get lost going there

Hah, the solution to petrol prices might just be LPG. I converted my V70 2.5T in 1998 and bought a C70 GT T5 yesterday in Devon that has a massive LPG tank in the boot. Good car and in some ways more fun to drive than my S60R.

sorry Jeoff, you should'nt be ser greedy ( go on st3ve say it, look who's talking!!!) yea OK I do have 4 cars but 3 dot pay road tax :-)
Anyway, what's the benifit in LPG Geoff? might like to look into that for the 850

V70 Geoff · Mar 29th, 2010, 19:51

Ah, a big question. An overall reduction in fuel cost and less environmental damage. LPG is a waste product from oil refining and runs very clean. Not simple though as there are many pitfalls including potential running faults and limited range. It took me over a year to get the V70 2.5T perfect and the C70 T5 has some faults but I will fix those. The bottom line is 34 MPG equivalent from the V70 instead of 22 MPG with the sort of use I give it so I save £700 per year. I would not pay to convert a car again but having bought the C70 with the system on, I am quids in I reckon.

By the way in my immediate family here there are my 3 Volvos plus an S60 2.0T Sport and a C70 2.5T. I also have a 1969 Rover 3.5 V8 Coupe. Volvos and classic Rovers. All built to work and last!
