Say what?????

Eurotuner article "NOPI 2005", by Sunny Lee 1/06 shows a cranberry '98 C70 sitting on Pegs as a half page picture. It is also mention the particular car and Volvos in general in the article. The quote from page 88 is below:

"Surprisingly, there were a fair amount of Volvos, like Phil Moo's '98 C70. Don't let the badge fool you. Just because it's a Volvo doesn't mean it's not fast. The turbo has been upgraded to a T3/T04e along with a tubular manifold and various other engine upgrades. It even has a respectable suspension setup with KW V2 coilover, which we didn't know they made for soccer mom cars!"

I searched the NOPI and Eurotuner sites as well as googling Phil and found no pics.

ANYONE THAT WAS THERE HAVE PICS TO SHARE (or know Phil)???

No pics on his profile though huh?

Looks like a few of us will have to take a trip to the local magazine shop and sneak a peek.

You will have better luck finding pics of Phil's car on Swedespeed. It does exist though and it is pimp.

Why don't they just get it over with and change their name to VAG tuner? It's clear that their field of knowledge does not exceed these two marques. I sadly purchased a subscription to that magazine thinking that they would cover all of the European brands; not the case obviously. I'm glad I have my subscription to European Car though; they have lots of good stuff. Plenty of MB and Porsche stuff. I MB and Porsche.

Anyways.... here's the pic:

That's why I have the subscription too but I am usually disappointed in the lack of Swedes in general. Not that I haven't seen any but it's about 10,000 VWs to 1 Volvo.

Thanks for posting the pic.
