Good to hear, I had a couple as company cars, in training I changed the vehicles every 6 months and the staff cars were on that list so new metal was always available plus we had the use of the training cars (we had 29 training cars and only 16 staff, everything from 340’s to 960 Limo’s). My favourite was a special build for me, I could pull things like that back when I mattered ;-), V70 AWD R with the earlier T5 engine which was a bit more torque than the R with the Scandinavian Spec. Effectively it was a press car (we built some very special cars for the press launch!).
I was walking through the Volvo Museum down in the harbour in Gothenburg (highly recommended) and Rick Rydell was doing a presentation on one of the race cars and explaining how little of it actually went down the track..... very little was actually still standard.
Sadly Ford pulled the plug on the funding for BTCC.
