Some awesome volvo footage

Found on SS.

Holy hell these guys are committed!

That video is pretty good once you fast forward past all the Subabishis. I especially like the Ascona catching the Audi.

Man all those cars were hauling ass, that wasn't boring at all. That Escort wrc was fooking flying!

I loved the tell tale BANG BANG before the Escort WRC came through! And old skool Volvos are boxy but very very good.

I think a lot of those cars are Volvo Original Cup, too. I haven't read all the rules (they're not in English), but I have been told that you can't have an LSD in the car. They do a lot of traction work with the good old handbrake and throttle with an open diff.

I finally got an email back from the guy who runs VOC in Sweden (the mothership, though there are about 5 other national VOC series throughout Europe and Scandinavia). Anybody want to start our own Volvo Original series in the states?! Volvo North America won't want anything to do with it, but at least we'll turn some heads!

I've already tried to buy back my (real) flathood I sold for $400 like a complete fucking idiot (nowhere to store it and it was dead at the time).

That car was AWESOME.

That explains why you see a lot of them left foot braking which you normally don't do in a RWD car.
