I have always like station wagons - ones with a bit of speed. I know it's a little odd, but there's something really cool about a car that goes (fairly) fast and can haul five people along with all their bicycle gear. Cool!
So meet "Helga, the Hellfire Wagon." Volvo 850 Turbo Wagon. It's not an R, but someone was building an R. Guess even the Volvo guys build performance "clones." This one wound up with the R interior (alcantara and leather )and some clown put an R badge on the rear, but it's a standard high pressure turbo, 222 hp. The R was 240 and the only difference on the engine was the computer program.
Going to drive Helga stock for a while, do a few minor mods/tune up, then put on a set of Pegasus 17" wheels. This winter, I'll kick her off at IPD for an exhaust
and computer reflash. Looking at 275 hp. That will make a very nice driver!
This car is so big that with the rear seats down, I could stretch out fully and sleep. Should be the bomb for bicycle races!
