Default Update on me!

Ok some of you guys some of you dont! But im PeteyD! I sold my turbo tC back in october and got me a differnt ride. but this isnt about that, Ive started a new project with a good friend of mine and were opening up an online shop about volvos.

YES VOLVOS!! yea yea yea i know get over it and take a look. The site is www.volvo-r.com and this past weekend was our very first show and big meet actually getting out there and showing the car off and getting our name out to people. While at a Euro car show this sunday we took Best Other Euro at the show!!! (mind you we were the only volvo and 1st one ever according to the judges and show coridnator(?) to show).

we actually generated the most buzz at the show and were shocked that we won came as a suprise! but with all that said here are the pics of our ride!!!














and the trophy pic no its not me but my partner in crime and owner of the car.

actually ford is just the money man. volvo actually runs thier own operation from my understanding tha was part of thier agreement in the buy out or something.

Nice, I saw the S60R at the Washington Auto Show and it completely blew me away. Although, I miss the idea of a shift boot

the shifter is one of the more interesting parts of the R. Its damn near impossible to misshift with the way volvo designd the shifter so it has its benefits

Nice! Now put some wheels on that baby!! I've always liked Volvos (mostly the R versions) And I also like that little hatchback they're coming out with.

were trying to but volvo is difficult they have and odd bolt pattern and bad offset its 5x108 with a 42mm offset cause of the brembo brakes. so its hard to find something that look goods and fits.
