Superb achievement this Tim, really, I'm so pleased for you. You should feel genuine pride that your work has recieved not just this recognition, but that your honest, helpful, open, ethical and straightforward style of doing business has generated such a huge number of delighted customers who want to see you do well and are so excited when you do!

Really, well done, congratulations!!

Well done Tim, having had alot of work carried out by yourself I can honestly say your work and attention to detail is second to none. I need to have the confidence in anyone who carries out work on my car as I compete in the VOC Motorsport Challenge, I need to know my car is mechanically up to being raced and is safe to do so, hence I would not trust any other specialist with my car.

I'm quite liking this thread like you dont see enough of volvos in mags. Especially the racing volvos, thats what got me into volvos in the first place, they were the most unorthodox thing to go racing in but at the same time were cool as!!

It was in 2005, Iain, and they looked at me like I was bonkers. I'm very glad there has been a change of heart, but the early reception was a bit hostile.

cheers

James

If you have no idea who Readline are then how do you know which magazine I am talking about.Tell me Russ do you know who Mr. Shrimpton is?

Are these other magazines going to feature you car in its full road worthy condition?

Russ shouldn't your signature read..

Owners of the highest genuine hp Volvo 850 series in the UK that has far far more power and torque then anyone else but which is also far far more unreliable than anyone else too

LOL
