What steering wheel are you running?

Finally replaced the standard four spoke in my 460 Turbo with a good [ish] MOMO Daytona. Made a huge difference.

And, for a random magazine cover exercise at Uni, I mocked this up:

Anyone have a Palm Beach?

I nearly bought a Palm Beach a little while back, also almost bought a Daytona a month or so ago.

Prob told you when we met actually, I found out that they don't fit cars with airbags, 'cos the columns are different.

Still trying to make my mind up how much I want one...

Hmm...

Seeing your Daytona's not helping!!

Just the standard airbag steering wheel on my 480!

I wish Volvo had produced these with a leather rim, rather than just the plastic, like they did with the original 480 steering wheels.

Agreed, the lack of leather really lets them down.

Feels horrid - jumping in the 480 for a blast (or 460 now - same wheel) after driving the 960 all week!

Hmm... Starting to give serious thought to a daytona wheel again now.

You've got a lot to answer for Jon!!

Oh, love the mocked up mag cover btw

Managed to get myself a Roma for a not insubstantial amount of coin. I'd like another Daytona as mine is a bit scruffy in places. Will post shots up when I unbox it.

"Holy thread revival, Batman!"

I managed to bag Ray the 460 Turbo a 2 spoke affair in nice condition from a 480 Turbo:

The car itself was in pretty nice condition really, so I nabbed it's front seats too, the cloth on the inner parts matches the rest of the interior, and they hold me in a little better when I get all giddy on the twisties!

I boshed on one of these, as original V70r wheel felt a bit skinny. Wasn't the best of knick when bought, so stripped it and died it black.Gotta whoopsome lacquer on now.

That looks like the same wheel as my S80 T6 Dave...

Except mine's got the buttons for the phone
