Hey all, it's almost 2:30, just got back from the track. I didn't run tonight (boost leak ), but we did have a quick photoshoot and here are a few pics from it. I have about 20 more probably, and will post those when I'm less tired/lazy. I'll let the pro post his pics when he gets on, but you'll have to look at mine for now.








Guess which one is me




The meet was very nice; very cool to meet other Volvo people around the state. Some verry nice cars there too. Two wicked C70's in one place, S60R, S80 (sorta), several 850's, an S70. Very fun time and we're all looking forward to the next time we can all meet up. One kinda scary moment at the track though. Matt (Texas850Turbo) was making his very first drag run of all time when the cap on the passenger side of his intake manifold popped off. We managed to fix it though , through teamwork of course.

The S80 belongs to Drew's mom. We car-pooled in it to the fair since parking was $9 per car! We had Brian (another guy that went with us to the track and hung out w/ us for the weekend) drive it to the photoshoot just so that we'd have another Volvo there . It's the N/A version .

Here's a few more pics. Drew is busy packing right now, but he's gonna post some up tomorrow I think. I'm sure his are a lot better as he has a Digital SLR w/ lots of lenses and other crazy stuff.


Reid's car w/ teh R bumper & comets that you can sorta see in this pic.


Close-up of Jon's projectors


Hottest car there IMO. I didn't realize all of the cool stuff done to it until I saw it in person. It has a genuine joystick (I'm sure there's a better word for this, but I don't know what it is) from an F-16 fighter jet in place of the standard shifter knob, BMW projectors w/ MB E-class shroud, Pipercross intake, Wilwood BBK, wicked sounding exhaust, CF hood and lots more.


Matt's Dad's S60R

got any pics of the joystick shifter?

I don't (kicks self), but there were 3 people there w/ camera's. I'm sure someone's got pictures of it.

[Texas850Turbo]

Jons joystick shifter is from a MiG-15 By the way

Nice pics!
Can't wait for Drews

See. The S80 is even unworthy of being called a participant at the meet. There are just too many prejudices and stereotypes associated with the S80. I mean, after all, the T6 isn't a bad car.

John, I forgot you used to be stationed in VA. Any chance you'll be back?

[Volvoson]

Please paint that "shroud" on the intake pipe black so that it doesn't stand out as much, like Pras' horns

Looks good, how did you guys do at the track?

[exexpat]

This front end owns!

Since I know most of you don't wanna read through all of the TX meet thread in M.A., here's a link to some of Drew's pictures. We should caption them 'cause some of them are kinda nutty and some of them, you can't tell what's going on.

[BtownVolvo]

Seriously that was too much fun! We need to do it again soon so i can pay sean back

[volvo4lif3]

Sean is the coolest of the group.. Howd that feel.?

[Zappo]

Nice! Now aim that passenger side light.

It is aimed, right at the camera!

Screw that. You need to get some of those "Intake Danger" arrows pointing to it.

[JMK33]

I agree, the front end looks sick with the red intake. Between the intake and the projectors i think its real sick.

[viperman135]

Does anyone have any more pics of the black c70 that car is hot. And if this guy is not part of VS he needs to be. I love the MIG shifter.
