ohh I see, thanks , but I still would not understand why you'd lower an XC since it's supposed to be that high off the road

your wife's lucky ,

I doN't know why but I still can not get used to those AUDI style lamps !!

I am never a fan of how a car is supposed to be

I can see that

In 1994 , I had an 1993 Opel Astra GSI , I guess only the Europeans on this forum would recognise this car. I don't think this car ever made it to USA ...

It was an Opel Astra GSI, 2 door Coupe, 2.0L , 150HP ,

I had modified everything on the car, I put on 17" Compomotive wheels (in 1994, 17" was quite big by then), stainless steel Magnex complete exhaust system, split fire spark plugs, K&N air filter, front & rear strut braces, 30mm lowered springs, koni adjustable suspensions, bigger disks and red brake calipers with a plasma tacho meter (glows green, see picture)

After these mods , my car was 167HP on the dyno and I could play around with BMW 320i's and my only true competitors were Ford Escort Cosworhts , Calibra Turbo's and BMW M3's by then

Here is a scanned picture of a scanned picture so the picture quality is not good. Those years there were no digital cams either

Let's see what did I do to MY XC this week?

I washed it. I admired the way it looks all clean and shiney.
Then I cursed at it when that Mother Effing *^!!@@ check engine light
popped up again. I also noticed I needed to put new tires on it
which I can't afford right now.

So that's what I did this week... admired & cursed at it... it's love.

"And all but finished with the wifes coupe"

The headlights on the C70 are awesome.

Is that doable on an XC70 without a 2nd mortgage on the house?

Ordered an iMIV and cables for my iPod integration plan. I am a huge fan of audio books while driving and find the iPod the source that works best for me.

Hopefully the weather cooperates and I can get it installed before winter arrives.

Last week, new Steelies and Hakka R 215 65R 16 for winter in the 'Peg. From Kal Tire, about $1200 all in. Tomorrow's forecast: (plus) 13 and sunny! Natch.
