Although this one isn't really my style, the mastery of craftsmanship is really inspiring to me. Yes, this car has also been discussed on this board a few times, but it deserves a place in this thread.

I can't find a picture anymore, but...Dad came home one day when i was 14 (2001 or so), with a dark green 245 with hazy yellow headlights, tan interior, and a severe case of ugly. Inspiration can hurt sometimes

Well, now that TB is back I think this one deserves a spot in this thread:

:omg: Do want.

Man there is a lot of seriously heavy duty 240's in this thread.. No wonder TB was down for so long.
Tonight is the first night, my ISP could resolve turbobricks.com.... |
Guys, as was mentioned earlier try not to post pics of your own cars. The intent here was avoiding cluttering up the thread with peoples own stuff- this is about inspiational cars, your own doesn't count.
Past this point if you post your hoopty I am canning your post, please don't be offended. If you want to whore your own car out by all means make a thread. |
my mom told me my car was inspirational:grrr:

Here's some inspiration for us broke brickers: (assuming it'll let me hotlink) http://web.telia.com/~u58212291/24263.jpg http://web.telia.com/~u58212291/242051.jpg (for people who don't know, that's peter bjorck's hoopt, which ran 11s on baldies while trapping in the 130s) |
Hmm... now that car gives me some inspiration... let body rust ;-) haha

More proof that wheels and stance make the car:

that Eggenberger car is insane, got a link to his Garaget side?
edit: found it, http://www.garaget.org/?car=130086 |
I wish I had some pictures to contribute, but my laptop is pretty Volvo free. I'm not sure what my original inspiration was, but at the VCOA meet in Knoxville I saw Paul Schue's black 240 wagon and wanted it so bad. At the time I had my original Volvo ('88 740 GLE) and my project 145. I think Dave Barton's wagon is an inspiration for my 145 (I know... wrong model), as well as the medium blue 244 that's been floating around with the S70 airdam and side skirts in it (we all know which one I'm talking about ;-) ). I have the airdam and the car... just lacking the time and the talent. And Chicca's (real name unknown to me) 744SE may have been the motivation for me to find my SE. Very well done car.
That's it. Just wanted to contribute. If anyone has pictures handy of the above mentioned cars, feel free to share :) Patrick |
Cameron, you are 100% correct about stance, that red wagon is SEX.
|
Yesssssssssssssssss. This thread is bangin so far.

I love the 245 in the rock quarry/puddle. That little wing is so bitchin. Subtle but sexy.:nod:

good thread idea Cameron.
Heres 4 cars that were key inspiration for me in the last 10 years... The first car i saw that made me want to do more than paint the caps on my virgos (circa 1998 thanks to tractor-pulling-center for showing modded volvos to the US) http://www.saliv8.com/beta/turbobric.../240gal040.jpg http://www.saliv8.com/beta/turbobric...e/bjarne02.jpg http://www.saliv8.com/beta/turbobric...e/bjarne05.jpg http://www.saliv8.com/beta/turbobric...e/bjarne11.jpg ...and heres what it looks like today (not a fan of those wheels though) http://www.saliv8.com/beta/turbobric...9_7973_img.jpg Next was the original b&w photos of this car which i dont have anymore but i think i can thank anthony hyde for sharring the original back in '99 maybe? http://www.saliv8.com/beta/turbobric...0140_IMG_1.jpg http://www.saliv8.com/beta/turbobric...0_0010_IMG.jpg The one i stared at the most and even found the back issue of bilsport with it... one of my all time favorites (550hp on an 8v motor btw) http://www.saliv8.com/beta/turbobric...re/02_0012.jpg http://www.saliv8.com/beta/turbobric...ire/192_G.jpeg http://www.saliv8.com/beta/turbobric...ire/191_G.jpeg Of course you cant forget this car which became rather popular http://www.saliv8.com/beta/turbobric..._volvo07_z.jpg http://www.saliv8.com/beta/turbobric..._volvo03_z.jpg |

Cameron, I would pimp that wagon too even with the bottle cap rims. That makes me want a 245 SO freaking badly.
