Hi mrs mop at the mo we have 6 family volvos and 4 of them are myne but at one point between me my dad and my mum we had 9.
The thing is some people have loads of kids but we would preffer to have loads of volvos as they are a hell of alot quieter, less maintainance and they dont give me a head ake every day lol ive only got a daughter and thats all im having.
As for it being a dd or project i havent got a clue at the mo it just looks nice in my back garden

What kind of fuel consumption do you get?
Do you get fed up of the Shell tanker in the rear view?
Or do you have to cruise at 'a constant 56 to maintain optimum fuel consumption' (Gordon Brittas)? I'm only jealous!
Where can I get one and what should I pay?

I dont really know what the comsumption is but i bet i could easy get over 30 on a run and probley low 20's knocking around it all depends what you drive like also if you want a car for good mpg go buy one of them eco s**t if you want a big motor thats comfy and a true cruser buy one of these you wont look back and the auto box is so smooth you dont know its changing gear and it picks up really well.
People in the stated are claiming some good figures on these with just a few mods and the roar is a1

Always thought the change to the 900 series coincided with the introduction of the straight 6's.....
