Moderator Lee pointed out that the 850/S70/V70/XC70/C70 forum passed this milestone today. It's always been the busiest of the forums here, and by the "1" in its URL (below), you can tell it was the first that I created when I installed the phpBB forum software on September 14th, 2002, at 10:03 am.

Whoohoo 850/S70/V70/XC70/C70 forum!
I wish this Volvo car grouping had tidy designation like the P1 and P2 cars do. At least I'm not aware of one if one exists. It's unwieldy to say Go 850s and S70s and V70s up to 2000 and XC70s (which were called V70-XCs then) up to 2000 and C70s up to 2000 I think!

Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Another milestone for you Matt. Well done.
You could rename the 850 etc forum as "5 cylinder, transverse engined vehicles built between 1992 and 2000 (mostly built before Ford took over)." That should generate another 100k posts complaining about the title.
