Picture request.
Hi, I am new here, I was wondering if anyone has a picture of the red Volvo 850 that Jim Richards drove in the 1998 australian super touring championship? I had some on my old computer but it is no more. Thanks in advance.

What were they thinking with that 850 - what a shocking looking brick.
The S40 was a fair bit nicer. |

Jim also raced the 850 wagon in Australia.
I remember it at the 2lt night race at Calder in 97 |

Cranker, I know Im old and becoming senile and the burnt rubber from easternats is rotting my brain, but am pretty sure the 2 litre race you are referring to at Calder was in 95, and it would have been Gary Scott at the wheel of the OVLOV at that time, if my memory serves me correctly, Jeff Allam was driving the lone Ross palmer Motorsport Mondeo (post Hansford) and Teddy Yip from Hong Kong had Bruno Giacomelli in an Alfa 164. Not that it mattered, Paul Morris in the Diet Coke BMW drove away from everyone till he backed off to make it look like a race. newsstalker, Im willing to bet, if you looked up your files, you would find results for it????? Not sure if natsoft would go back that far |

Righto: If you had crucified as many brain cell's as I had since then, you would cut me some slack about the year....... I still maintain, Jum drove the phuker, he was testing the braking up "Tommy Easton Drive" all through Friday practice. Newsie, WTF are you; when me & the bloke Skaifee rolled in the Laser series need you ?? BTW anybody got a second hand, passenger side front door-skin for a VY commie ? |

Thanks Falc & NAC.
Now can either of you remember if Jim ever drove the blue & white OVLOV Wagon, at Calder, or should I just give up now...... Oh, and as a side note, Melinda Price had an engine bay fire in the toyota on the grid of R 1; that's why she was a DNS.... From memory, 'The Legendary Barney' (R.I.P) put the fire out...... . |

ah yes, the Box Hill TAFE entered Corolla, driven by Melinda Price, and sponsored by Tom Piper, makers of various tinned foods, which could "augment" the meal somewhat - do you get the segue Cranker???? |

Richo moved to Volvo full-time in 1997, the team briefly expanded to two cars at seasons end after TWR brought a new car with them for the first Super Touring Bathurstwith Tony Scott returning to drive the ex-Brock car when Richo got the new one. In 1998 the team upgraded to S40's, expanded to two cars for '99 with the second car going to pay drivers Mark Williamson and Mark Adderton with Cameron McLean having a steer at the final round as a warm-up for Bathurst '99 where McLean famously did not get to drive in the weather shortened event. With no decent BMWs or Audis to race against in 2000, Volvo followed all the other manufacturers and left the series. |
