Looks good. Who's spraying it?

OK whatever.... you have no idea.

You've really made some strides in the last 6 weeks then. Last I saw your car it was pretty bare.

You can't afford them. Last I heard they were looking to sell everytihng as a package. Somewhere in the $500k range for everything. These are full blown racecars people. I've stood next to them, my friend sat in Derek Bells car, the header on these cars cost more than I bought my S70 for.

Right, but they need backing to continue. Volvo threw lots of $$ at the project and the cost of the cars is rediculous. They could care less about where the $$ is from, there just needs to be alot of it. Edit - I see where I mis-typed in my first post. Without ANY backing the cars will not run in 2006.

From what I was told, since Volvo is done dumping $$ into the program, At-Speed is actively shopping the cars to privateers. Some of the people who worked for At-Speed on the S60R's are looking to follow the cars where ever they go. It was my understanding that without Volvo facotry backing, the car would NOT race in 2006.

Well I got to take a peak at the project car up close yesterday. It has a lot of potential. I also got up close and personal with the 04 and 05 S60R Race Cars. Its really a shame Volvo pulled the sponsor $$. We know the head fabricator at AtSpeed and he invited us over to check stuff out. They do some really trick work. Sorry, no pictures! Best of luck with the car Charles.

Please don't delete this thread. I enjoy laughing at it. Are you a senator? Becasue you seem to know everything about politics. And obvisouly Alzheimers doesn't make people idiots. But if there was a person with such diminished mental capacity in the White House, what makes you so sure that America won't/couldn't/didn't elect an idiot? "The democrats, rather than accepting Bush's offer to write this bill together, are trying to turn it around on him and politically assasinate him with his own bill." Now here is a statement we can actually discuss. Had your first post contained this statement, I might have responded completely differently. I do think its a shame the way politics are handled in the US. This is a good example. Anyway, your antics in the LA post have proven to me (at least) that your thoughts are to be taken lightly. Nice work! Chris

Legend, Was that a direct quote from the Democrats in your first post? A press release? Oh, you embellished slightly right? Thats what I thought. I don't agree with everything the Democrats stand for, nor do I think they are always right, but your first post was idiotic and juvenile. If that is a direct quote, or a press release, then I do think that was a childish resonse. Or maybe it was your post, which would make you the child. - Cut from other post - "George seems so much friendlier than Kerry, too." This is what YOU said. So sorry, not nicer, friendlier. My bad dogg. Did you have reasons to vote FOR Bush? Or just against Kerry? And I think voting for a President because he is a "Family man" or "friendlier" and against "Botox man" is pretty 8th grade girlish. As to a complete idiot being president, let me remind you that for half of First Actor Regan's term he had Alzheimers. Now I actually liked Regan, but it still makes one wonder... I don't have anything against you personally, I understand that people have different point of views. I think it was your post where you called my perspective "wrong". I don't mind other people opinion, but when someone tells me what I think is wrong, I'll get defensive. Especially if its abstract, like political theory. Its like asking what someones favorite color is, and then telling them they are wrong. Chris

Guess I'm a fool then.

Oh yeah, I must've forgot. You're right - Bush is the best president EVAR! Didn't you vote for him becasue he seemed like a nice guy? Guess those are your requirements for presidency.... :unsure:

Translation: Bush - "Okay, I'm a bogus president who doesn't know his jerk from his elbow. I don't feel like doing any work so you guys make something up and I'll ask my fellow Rebublicans if I should sign it. Go me!" Democrats - "We don't feel like doing a bunch of work only to not get it passed because you are dumb. Why don't you actually do some work. We'll work on getting rid of this 400 trillion dollar debt you've created. We're plenty busy." :)

This whole thread has been worth it, just for this post!

Thanks bud. Wanna trade? :)

Ah yes, Greg. Whats up? Its been a while since I've seen your R. I like your car a lot. 'Specially with dem pegs. Lookin sweet. Thanks for your well wishes with the S70. It shames my 242 in the speed category . Chris

I am a Turbobricks transfer as well. But I started trolling about two months ago. I was looking at, and then purchased a 98 S70. So I actually have a reason to be here, and am enjoying what I am learning. Now I have to try and not spend all my $$ on the S70. I just bought it to daily drive while I hook up my 242! Stupid car disease. I have a different username on TB, but I reverted back to 'ol faithful for the VS guys. Chris ....please help me, I need a turbo
