Flying bricks FTW.

Can someone explain to me the writing on all those tracks? It seems like all of the tracks I see videos of there is always some kind of writing on the ground.

They do the same thing for the TdF...
Encouragement for the drivers/teams.

I wish I could have driven that hard when I went in '05. I didn't feel like parking the E30 rental in the Armco, though...

where did u get the e30 rental in '05?
that volvo is awesome, true flying brick, although it did not look as they were going very fast, they barely passed the 1-series BMW that was crawling the track

My mom has the same year 850. :)
Ive been trying to buy it from her for years.

The 850 is one of the only fwd cars that I would own.

My mom has a 2000 S70 T5. That thing hauls ass!

[freeride53]

haha if anything i thought you guys would like 240s over 850s.
there are HUNDREDS, maybe thousands? of 200+hp, hell 400+hp, big ass turbo, engine swapped RWD volvos on www.garaget.org
search for volvo 200, 700, 900, etc...

I also have a 92' "euro spec" volvo 240 wagon. my parents bought it in sweden back in the day.
it's RWD, lsd, 5-speed stick, all the goodies...well most. it has a pretty nice suspension, and handles great (which is odd for a wagon). However, its pretty lacking in the power dept.
Me & my dad have been putting off the Turbocharge for years now. Still have a t3/t4, green tops, ebay IC, etc... lined up for that. I drove that for a bit, but since it's under my dad's name, its more of a shared family car. Hopefully, I can take it with me to college!
