My father had a 308 GTS Q.V. and it was the most terrifying, and yet wonderful car to learn stick shift on. Since his passing and selling of the car, I still love to hear the roar of that engine. Thanks for posting!
They're definitely a lot of fun and experiencing a gated shifter like that while learning stick would've been heaven! Glad that you enjoyed the video and soon I'll have the 488GTB video up!
Nice video! We have an '85 Euro as well. They do take a little getting used to, but that happens fast. They are super fun! You do need to roll them up a bit as you found but the sound they make is great! Very different than the P-cars of that era. Thanks for the drive!
Thank you. They sure are a pleasure to drive and very exciting once you start pushing them a bit more :) I'll be doing a video on the 488GTB soon, should be out by the end of Feb!
tony66au May be a good build, I just found it amusing a Volvo wagon wanting to drag. Not the usual suspect. what type of work has he done to it? Sounded like a boxer engine!
@@TalkTheTorque Just your run of the mill AWD 5 cyl turbo Whiteblock but with all the right goodies, a wicked tune Volvo ECU and a 6 speed. Really well done for an Apprentice considering what the car was when I drove it before he bought it. XC70 Cross Cu*ty and yep theres a lot of self deprecating humour in the Volvo world and brutal Wagons are the funniest IMO. I'll get Andy to drop you a line if you want to know more, Good bloke, Great kid.
