Just had a crackin chat with a guy (Tony from B.S.Edmunds- Black Scooby), whos going to replace some windows for me and we got talking over a brew, as you do...He mentioned about you guys so I thought Id have a look and say hi.
Although there do appear to be a lot of scoobs on here, I like the idea of the club and so I thought Id introduce my sweedish estate to the brew and see what you guys thought...

Shes a 99 (T) V70 (the slab sided shape) T5 estate. I havent had her all that long and I only really got her because I wanted something to lug big things around in that was quick- couldnt afford a tasty rs4 estate, so here she is! Treated aleady to Eibach sports suspension, the larger 18" T5R wheels, a K&N, cat back exhaust and Rica chip she really does go- well for an estate- not sure its going to keep up with a scoob on a run, but a similar car was dynoed at 315hp, so its in the ball park... Does weigh a bit more though...

Ill get some pics up as soon as I can and Im looking forward to seeing some of you at a Snetterton track day soon!
Im up in Suffolk, in Finningham, so if any of you fancy a brew, the kettle's always on!
Cheers,
Dan

Welcome Dan,
Nothing wrong with your ride mate. We had a guy in the club with a near standard T5. He had freat fun on track and quite a capable car with a great engine.
Hope to see you at some events and meets then

I think we all know which Tony, black Scoob and chats for England You're in good hands there.

The T5 estates gave many people a shock in the BTCC a few years back and they've been a good workhorse for quite a few police forces. Nice choice for being different.


Welcome to BigPower

T5R 5 pot lump seems pretty strong! As said it went very well in the BTCC.

My dad has always had quick Volvos as his "daily drivers" currently has a V70 R.Last year he had entered a sprint, but sadly his sprint car wasn't ready in time...so he turned up & entered in the Volvo!!!
He did ok in the results, i think he beat a couple guys in our class.....I think the best bit was spending the lunch break siting in it wirth the aircon on watching the MotoGP on the built in satnav/TV 8) :lol:

Who can that be :roll:

Welcome to the club.

Hi and welcome to Bp Dan. As many of us on here say it is not the car you drive, it's how you use it. ( in the proper place of course).

Love those T5's, welcome to the club.
Get some pictures up mate, be good to see it.

PS Seen some of the same shape drag race @ North Weald a few times, they always seem to post pretty good times and have good fun in the process, which is the whole point!

welcome to BP Dan, T5's are brilliant cars 8)

let's be honest, they were in the btcc and used by police
