jumped out and told me that she wasn't driving my car again cause it was s**t and didn't speak for the rest of the way home. lol

:rofl: Too funny. Unfortunately all of our M35's are auto, so we cant have such fun :( I think my missus would love the challenge I was able to do something similar though.

Spotted this Volvo in a Maccas drive thru the other week; gave him a toot & told him to get out of the way... Also saw this sweet NM35 while I was driving up a hill a couple of days ago.

LOL, you should have said "not with that negative attitude, you're not" then laughed. Shame on her lack of commitment! :D

Hahaha. It sounds like your partners are opposite to my misses. She likes to give the 260RS a bit of a flogging and stir up the odd bogan. I bought her a Mini Cooper S with JCW kit and she complains it's too slow. Hits her favourite corner on the way home and has the traction control light flashing :)

Now we just bought an old Ford GT40 replica as a project car. That should be fun :)

So good when I was borrowing my housemates stag the other day, he told me to park it in the multi-story behind his work and there just happened to be a spare spot with a volvo v70 next to it in the same colour as his stag! Epic trolls, he was sad.

hehehehe, bloody nice car though :D

OK, as requested. It's not in great shape, but it's gonna be an awesome project.

It actually has a 350 Chev. Some people would say this is sacrilege, but who cares.

just got my stagea last weekend and in the space of less than a week, i saw at least 1 volvo v-series wagon everyday...thought wtf is going on here?

then today went to one of my usual workshop to machine the rear rotors, the guy said to me that he thought it was a volvo...i just grinned and remembered how every other m35 owner has their first 'i thought it's a volvo' moment :D

I just bought my Stagea in Melbourne on Friday. Went out to tea that evening and came back to the room to find a letter under the door:

"Mr Marshall,

We believe you are the owner of a White Volvo Registration ***-***.

Please note your headlights have been left on.

Kind Regards,

Reception"

That has to be some sort of record in Stagea-Volvo confusion! In my defence, it was only the inside light, not the headlights :P

had a few moments in the last week...

Had a mate from training giggling telling me it sounded like the starship enterprise on boost more than a volvo...

Had someone ask if it was a hearse the other night too... 5 years after buying it and I still love the attention it gets from randoms. Lol.

some seedy dude in dandenong told me he wanted to rear end my volvo. i drove off as quickly as i could.

:rofl2::whistling:

Classic.

Yep. I the short time I've had my car not one person has guessed its a Nissan. Pretty much all of them thought it was a Volvo. Its actually starting to shit me off a bit!

      We have 2x Swifts and my plans for a Swift, unfortunately, do not extend to an intake and an exhaust. I've been having dirty thoughts about a 2.5L Suzi V6, AWD gearbag out of a suitable donor, rear floorpan graft to take the rear cradle from same, and either trumpets of evil or a small supercharger. If I'm going to make noise in a Swift, I want it to be anti-social, evil handling and rough. Probably need to be fully stripped inside, matt black paint, plastic windows, 7" wide wheels, big brakes, silly suspension, etc etc etc. I have no idea if any of the proposed driveline components could take the pain. But it would be a hoot finding out.

      Really, anyone modifying a car isn't being financially smart. We're doing it for the things we love. And honestly, a high revving, light, NA car is actually pretty darn fun. I used to have a Swift Sport, and I miss that thing as a daily, and yes, doing something like some intake and exhaust stuff would have made minimal gains, but would have bought an even bigger smile
