Was out on the 2010 Pirelli International Rally yesterday, thought you might appreciate this... Won its class with plenty of time to spare.

LloydDobler posted:Not really, 50s and 60s Volvos have always been very fast and competitive against period competition, especially in rallies. They're built by a country that, at the time, had tons of dirt roads that were covered in snow half the year. They just don't have a motorsport pedigree or reputation except to enthusiasts. Mid-80's Volvos were also pretty fast - our local Volvo dealer at the time, David Gillanders, won the 1985 Group A Scottish Rally Championship in a 240 Turbo... I remember watching him throw this car up the local hillclimb track in '86. Only pic I could track down is from Autosport in '85
