Lots of people seem to favor the 340 as a drift car so they can't all be wrong just be careful on the bodywork front as they aren't as well rust proofed as the larger Volvo's so the tin worm can affect them badly. Having said that a good one will probably be cheap to buy due to the fact not many people think of these sort of cars first when looking to buy a new car.

I have seen your S70 for sale on the bay and I think you should keep it fwiw

But good luck with the sale in any case

im not too fussed on what it looks like to be honest lol

im sure it will see the other side of hedges etc...... lol
just didnt want to dive in too quick and wreck a nice bmw or S14

i know im not going to see the money back on my car but i cant afford to have two cars.

i did want to have a blast with the gold S70R at some point now ive had the work done on mine!!

Oh right, take it the work you have done has done a fair amount in favor of the performance?

The S70R is my brothers car btw

[stu_850t5]

the only car that has completly wiped the floor of me is that cally turbo and sierra cossie (A5 ONA)

The guy who had the red estate was owned by a guy out dunmow way, he had an MTE put on it but it cost him more than what he thought it would to run so decided to call it a day and he sold it a few months back now.

Not sure who's is quicker as we haven't tried it but they are now both running the same modifications/remaps so shouldn't be a great deal in it and they both feel as lively as each other as a passenger

Next time you see us out pop over for a chat we don't bite I think it's fair to say we all have one thing in common at the moment

[stu_850t5]

yea no worries, will pop over if i see you about
