birmingham that's oh no i'm not going there i've been an idiot right i've put my max price up a thousand pounds we have master hagler mike i mean uh alex kirsten did you say ford mondeo 3d to st one here 14.95 can we get a third off that third off it can we i don't know oh look at this volvo 460 gl look at that wow would that do it no probably wouldn't even do 100. i just i just like it we just like to look have you learned nothing mercedes-benz clk 3.2 yeah ethan you're on fire what's happening anyway i'm really bored um with facebook marketplace so i'm now an auto trader this is not on he's in high territory shut up what i've done is i'm searching cars up to 1500 pounds and become clever acceleration not 60 miles an hour zero to eight seconds also auto trader you can have a look at the specifications of each car so i am here on the winning car volvo v70 2.4 t5 sc gear tronic that's boring yeah how many people are screaming at us to buy a volvo are you insane are you winning a point i mean getting evolved 7.2 seconds top speed 152 miles an hour plus five cylinder engine close your phones i've done it octavia vrs uh i think that's 140 something 149. it's like a really hot miles 530i se touring 150 exactly 12.85 a grand cash it's when we're there just doing that about the phrasing to use if i come with a thousand pound cash yeah cash in your rand i've just bought myself a package sorry sorry mike he loves it actually insert twitter post to prove mike brewer loves it gazer you absolutely lemon squeezer yeah should we go through the shortlist it's a very short list of volvo v70 well i've got some shut up do you think i've been doing nothing pretty much yeah i have a large one mate right so we have got your what was it clk yes 149 miles an hour that'll do 1500 pounds so delay yeah we're not gonna get a third off uh that is all of your cars gone no the octavia and the five series all right don't get your knickers in there twist jack are you in the game yeah i'm in the game all right okay what we got i forgot what we got see it leon one eight twenty valve that won't be 150 okay well down the hill it might uh honda coupe v6 i definitely won't do 150 okay right now my actual good let's start now uh an is-200 that's been supercharged for a grand no it's 50 000 quid but it's been up for ages will it do 150 miles an hour though because it might just be bouncing off the limiter and fifth at 145 yeah it's all to do with the gearing right ford mondeo three-liter v6 yeah 149 when it was brand new maybe it's loosened up a little bit now a gs300 sport does that do it that'll do it you're sure set a number piss all 149 well then there you go power to weight ratio of 145 a ton that's disgusting that's nothing is that talk we're looking at is that that do you know the funny thing is he's not even making this up it's so refreshing though isn't it what having an invalid thank you for letting me outside today so we're all agreeing on the volvo do you want to call your volvo then pick up the phone man five one eight sigh right let's cancel the video should i try the five series it's a dealer he's not gonna go from 1285 to 12 000 is he yeah just phone him up hi there i'm calling about a five series you have for sale yeah it's available okay cool and it drives okay stops okay goes in a straight line yeah yeah it does i've got a really tight budget of a thousand pounds um yeah i can't do nothing can't do nothing on it okay yeah not to worry thank you anyway oh i'm being phoned back hello sorry are you selling a volvo it's sold today unfortunately some guy's interested in anything he wants it oh that's a real shame congrats on the sale thanks very much bye-bye not to worry are they all your options depleted now i'm out right what we got jack what you got well now you're interested now you've run out of options the gs300 149 that'll do it no 150 is one above not one below it's close though i think it would do it i'm basing this oh if you're confident then on your head be it if we don't do it and we have to we have to cancel the channel all our lovely subscribers they they have nothing to do on a friday night they could go out ah they don't they don't go out like their nightstand or video release everyone knows that can we try the skoda yes oh do we no octavia vrs i don't know they won't do it does one four nine oh yeah so i have cars that do 149 but they're they're dog [ __ ] but if you get one yes great ring them up oh all right someone's getting sassy well no one's paying any attention to my car i'll try this guy at least we'll know then hello hi hi i'm calling about a skydrop tarvy you have for sale yeah i'm just with someone at the moment can i give you a bow back on this number perfect thank you oh imagine being a buyer looking at the car now and he's like oh i'm just with someone as a buyer yeah shut up whatever i would turn around to him now and i'd say you're a liar your car's a pile of [ __ ] why don't you try your supercharger one because you said it's been up for a while didn't you i've got better options than that i still haven't heard any of these better options the mondeo the freelee v6 do you want to call any of these options call mr mondeo hello yeah um see you've got a mondeo for sale uh what's it like it's a driver right did you read the description i did it drives very well to be honest but i just like it's only when you're stationary and you turn the wheel there's like a little knock with a steering issue like that would you advise going 150 miles an hour at it oh yeah i mean i drove it on i drove all right cheers thank you he made you look like a right mark right ethan what i was just hoping that you had something oh i stopped looking oh yeah is that is that why you've got your arms crossed well i'm waiting actually i'm waiting for the skoda guy to call me back should we get food let's get food new place burger bay let's go mechanically it's fine um engine wise is fine okay yeah i'm definitely interested i'm annoyingly i only have a budget of a thousand if you come and you're happy with the car i'm not gonna argue that you can have a thousand dollars okay so that was the octavia guy yeah very promising should we get some food hash yourself i think so right so before we left to come to burger bay i messaged a guy with this 2000 volvo v70 t5se he reckons in the book from new or 252 miles an hour and it's got loads of bits on it as well it's got 12 months mot stainless steel pipe stainless exhaust system um with a 200 cell cat so i think i should give them a quick call just make sure everything's in order we'll eat here yeah and then we'll shoot up the m40 and then i'll it kind of makes sense to go for that if it's in the book as a quicker car yeah yeah yeah and it's 150 yeah it's 850 quid also volvo i like the idea of that yeah it's gonna happen so let me call him up [Music] yes is that colin are you okay with us coming up maybe what time are we now half three half four five six ish yeah that's absolutely fine mommy final question as well bit of a weird one do you reckon it will do 150 miles an hour in a straight line yeah it goes it goes off the floor it goes platform 160. is right next to where you're good i saw you drive fast you you floored it and then we didn't hear the dump valve and then we had a discussion we had a discussion about that they don't do well with dumbbells so i've seen your car and i've seen you drive your car i cannot believe this this is amazing awesome okay yeah uh sold okay cheers colin bye-bye this game's too easy i'm sorry i'm sorry that's another point there is another point i have landed with my ass in the butter that car i saw last week driving past did look good that is ridiculous that's insane this isn't set up gareth we're coming for you later by the way wow all right i'm excited [Music] [Music] okay [Music] okay [Music] trust me that's like no that's like stabbing someone while they're [ __ ] you can't do that [Music] horrendous i might where's my ass so far [Music] [ __ ] i've enjoyed the comic it's good it's actually a really good car yeah for a one liter it does does haul it's been comfy isn't it it's been very comfortable what the heck's like hello genuinely we're four up all our camera gear is decent yeah [Music] while i'm reversing your real piece of [ __ ] you need to take a look at your alarm systems right so we've arrived now at garrison village your house is one point no 0.1 miles away and we've just arrived at the volvo i can see it from here so should we have a look so uh this is colin the owner of the volvo when i switch you on the phone you reckon it'll do more now it goes to over 160 indicated wow how accurate the speedo is i could tell you awesome well uh yeah [Music] how many miles is it on we usually don't get all fed for cars with fewer than 500 000. yeah it's 240 something standard yeah and all i've done is that it breathed i've got a map on it and done it now oh yeah yeah it says pretty much stock everything by the aftermarket yeah so uh intake uh obviously the turbo elbow and i've made an exhaust for it so it's three inch down pipe okay into a 200 cell cap and then two and a half all the way through oh do you want me to check that uh yeah would you uh oh we're good yeah why are we good there's no milky residual in there very good how many like the fact that it's got michelins on all four corners so that was the other option for this if it didn't sell was to pick up it really that was intermediate well you're talking to the experts here right should we jump in go for a drive oh oh god that sounds so good already 225 000 miles on the clock as well that's great well i'm glad he's put such nice tires on it if you want to get to 150 yeah you don't want to be doing it on cheap tires so it shouldn't be dirty oh sold yes colin i like what you've done to your car so thoughts guys we liking this is it gonna go i yeah this is great we started off the day [ __ ] ourselves thinking oh god we're not going to find anything and here we are 260 horsepower i like it i like it a lot it feels light feels fast feels solid right so we've just been for a drive colin we hate the car uh waste of time coming up here uh yeah no genuinely it's a great car and you've had it for five years so you know you know all about it so trust you and if it breaks then we know where you live i wouldn't be me if i didn't ask for just a little bit so i was wondering would you take 800 quid no because got a half tank fuel and a fresh mot all right would you take 1100 quid no wrong way wrong way wrong way right not mike brewer i was about to do it hold out your end right 850. 850. there you go nice one thanks very much so next time you guys see this car we're going to be trying to do 150 miles an hour you reckon it's good for more so given enough space we're going to take it onto a runway or drag strip and hopefully hit over 150 miles an hour so join us there [Music] um [Music] welcome back it is now 136 days later kobit happened a lot has changed as well you got engaged i did again engaged yeah jack had a birthday nothing's happened in my life except i've got batter but you join us now at vmax 200 we're at an army base and we are taking the 850 pound volvo today to hopefully hit 150 miles an hour so as you can see we're in a lineup of cars very similar to our no very dissimilar to our own we've got porsches ferraris bmw one series that does 192 miles an hour so we are very much not fitting in but that is the car throttle away right right so as a reminder we are in the 850 pound volvo v70 we think around 260 brake horsepower oh okay let's go oh let's go let's go let's go let's go let's go let's go on your marks get set go go go go go come on baby oh yes oh i wouldn't say it's the quickest no come on well this is foot flat to the floor now 80 miles an hour it looks so slow slight is it even moving are we approaching a hundred oh we've got a hundred is it moving come on volvo all right go go ahead we're gonna get 130. come on volvo all right oh it was very close to 150 on the dial we've got a lot of wiggle in it 140 67. i want to see how out that speedo is compared to the footage i think that run was probably 145. hey tell us the good news we think you got 140.67 oh we we thought we almost got 150 well that's what the speedo was telling us yeah i wouldn't wouldn't trust that speedo yeah you just go faster ah you weren't giving it 100 way yeah probably about 97. ah we'll shed some emergency weight you are emergency weight speaking of shedding emergency weight a car that doesn't need to go on a diet is the awesome bmw 2002 turbo that i told you guys about earlier featuring 170 horsepower and pounds for the torque bmw's first production turbo model still feels fast today and remember that you guys could be in with a chance of winning one of these icons plus 20 000 by entering at the link below what we're gonna do is uh drastic action duct tape close all these panel gaps bear wheel yeah i mean i wanted to run it as standard but it's not going to happen so uh we've got to get clever we've got to get wise i've got to be more aggressive on the gearbox and all the while hope that this car is going to get me back home later i think it'll be fine and then if push comes to shove just kick me out yeah we might have to do that as a whole 85 kilos gone there and i'll go for a poo anyway let's try stage two tune of our 850 pound volvo [Music] right so the uh the guys from red studios have just come and they've said that they're going to give us a free tune which is very nice of them so they've given me racing stripes and as everyone knows yellow racing stripes on any car makes any car faster i'm really intrigued to see how this is going to perform now well we've shed some weight we've improved the arrow we've done something in the arrow aggressive oh that was a limiter come on come on baby can i go go go go come on come on come on oh no what one four four one four four okay 151 on that yeah that's better than last time we can't argue with that it's back to the drawing board all right tell us the result 151 one four four oh better so we got four miles an hour four miles an hour that's good pretty good what we're gonna have to do now is stage three june which means taking weight out which includes you am i going with the seats you're gonna have to go with the seats and we might have to do some more taping [Music] i think we've gutted about 60 kilos out of the car including myself which is maybe around about 150 kilos we're losing in total yeah so 150 kilos for 150 miles an hour also the tire pressures have gone up from 35 to 45. so fingers crossed this is it this is the run let's go see that's better come on volvo come on baby right not gonna get out of fourth unless i hit the limiter six and a half thousand rpm that's where i can change his last right look at the brave box come come come come oh don't think there's much more to be had out of that good job volvo good job i just think for this distance in this car 150 miles an hour is not achievable i honestly thought that going in a straight line would be boring but when you feel acceleration and i'm talking volvo acceleration here remember it's still fun in a car like this if you're in a mackerel like that imagine [Music] stop lad what was happening you might have to do one pour up all right one four seven one four seven oh right this is the one oh okay this one okay there are so many people here that are depending on otherwise they're going home are we up he's starting well back on it oh yeah he does he's starting further back come on come on come on come on come on keep going keep going i'm not gonna change oh i don't know and i just want to reiterate if the track were longer this is a 150 mile an hour plus car i think given the space it will do 155. thanks again to omaze for sponsoring this video and giving you guys the chance to win a bmw 2002 turbo remember go to omaze.com forward slash bmw and enter now every donation supports the peterson automotive museum [Music] um right so i've just done my fifth and final run in the mighty volvo i don't actually know how fast i cross the line so someone gonna put me out of my misery yeah i mean the top speed of the day amongst all these supercars is around two three seven so we're probably going to be about 100 miles an hour slower or are we well we did it yeah that last run yeah in one four six yeah yeah so your best of the day was 147. so i guess the takeaway is you can buy a car for a thousand pounds that will do 150 miles an hour if you have a runway long enough but today on this occasion we just ran out of space just want to say a massive thank you to uh to the guys at vmax 200 to craig for uh for sorting us out and all of these lovely cars everyone's been super friendly and you know what i'm going to say that i'm going to say it the car of the day has been the mighty volvo it's had the most looks the most love and everyone loves an underdog right but people can't believe it's here exactly it was a good proportion of the time that we felt really out of place yeah but very welcomed yeah anyway i hope that you guys have enjoyed watching this video you can watch more car
