I'm an ex-pat Brit living in Metz, France and brought my modified P1 V70T5 (auto) here with me when I moved from the UK last year. There is a real lack of Volvos in France- I think I have the only T5 in Metz!

It'd be great to join the 850 club but can't work out what to do on the joining- up page doh!

I'm a member of the Volvo performance club uk (www.vpcuk.org) and the Volvo Owners Club in the UK but would love to meet some fellow owners on this side of the channel.
Going to Bitburg (near Trier) this weekend to put my T5 down the strip; best 1/4 mile so far 14.634 (not that quick I know- but ok for an auto) hoping to break the 14.5 second barrier!
I'm running a RICA304/ JT 3" catback exhaust/BSR optiflow filter/reverse intercooler pipes and a couple of other little mods...planning to get the stage 4 kit from europeantuning.nl next year

Cheers, Jerry

Thanks Henry. I'll try and upload the pics!
No idea what the bhp is because autos are so hard to dyno accurately- I'm guessing at around 280-285 at the flywheel with the current mods?!

Welcome Jerry...

Nice to have some foreign members here.
Your V70 is a beauty...

That's a nice T5! 14,6 is a very good time for a family car

14,6 just isn't quick enough for a family car 
13s would be better

Your T5 is lovely and you have a "proper" gearbox as well...but my steering wheel is on the correct side LOL

Hello!

And welcome
