This is my 1998 Volvo C70 HPT in Saffron. So far it's pretty close to stock, but it's blisteringly quick.

May 2006:

I met up with my friend Luc with a black 98 C70 coupe. We headed out to Gatineau Park across the river from Ottawa to drive through the twisties and take some pics. The Cassis Purple C70 is owned by a girl I went to highschool with.

I took a trip to Montreal to see the Dragonforce concert. I snapped a few pics when I had time.

This is my old kill list. ;)
I don't like to race anymore ever since the harsh new street racing laws came into effect in Ontario.

Impound your car for a month and at least $5000 in fines. Not worth it IMO.
