Volvo V70R in my favorite color, Flash Green Metallic, hauling a replica of the 1993 850 BTCC car. I’m in heaven.

Exactly. You always have to have the racecar with you, you know, just in case...

Best color Volvo ever put on the V70 imo. Combine that with the Atacama interior (read: orange) and I melt into a puddle of want. This is my unicorn.

Making a replica of a BTCC tourer is the best use for a Volvo 850.

Hmm, tow rating for a V70 seems to be 3,300 lbs. I would imagine that the tranny in a V70R is probably more robust than the base model. Still, cutting it kinda close when you consider all the praise he receives wherever he goes...

Exactly. I will do this one day. And it will be Oppo as hell.

V70R AWD has a 6 speed and I believe it’s a Getrag box. Definitely more robust than the standard auto that’s in the regular V70s.

Exactly. I mean, what happens if you go to the mall and they just happen to be having an autocross event that day? You can’t just drive back home and load up, oh no. It’ll be too late then. Gotta be prepared to race at all times!

I’m surprised my work computer didn’t block it.

Oddly I still get some porn links at work on a simple Google search for parts...maybe the car porn filter’s been turned off?

Also, this better than the S60 Polestar I saw on the way home yesterday.
