[volvokid]

Heres a few of the new car, I love this car, Its much better to drive than the C70 was. Still havnt had any fun in it yet, I tend to be sitting at 50mph more than anything just now.

The car has been maintained to an extremely high standard, cant wait to detail it....... if i ever get the time :(

Liam here's a picture of the engine before, it really isn't as scary a task as many think to clean it, 30 mins tops to do it. unless you polish the metal work.

I've been back to this thread looking at the pictures a couple of times since you posted them, I would seriously consider changing up to one of these when I next change my car in fact I think it may well be my next choice of car, once again a stunning looking car very jealous.

[volvokid]

VKid, thats stunning mate, very nice indeed.

What did you use to clean the engine bay ?

DB.

hey I use R222 TOTAL AUTO WASH and to dress it use 303 AEROSPACE PROTECTANT these are 2 of my favourite detailing products, and i just use it on my engine DOH but when people see this part of the car they always ask how it looks so good.

[volvokid]

Volvo for life Jimmie get him sorted out when he's a bab

[Jaseb77]

Very nice Martyn .

What's the colour combo inside ?.

[AndysR]

Thanks Andy, have you ever driven one?

No not one of the R range. Have driven a few of the lesser models and I find them quite nice to drive although they do feel a little less direct when I compare them to my 850 and a lot slower. I'm hoping the R's feel quicker and more direct as a result of the sportier theme.

They really do feel faster, i can compare it to an 850 t5 my v70r and the c70 t5 plus quite a few lesser volvos

Its got the blue leather i like the david Dickson colour but couldnt live with it

Thats the best interior colour anyway ;-)

A year ago and I'd have agreed with you 100% but now I really see the appeal of the dickinson shade leather especially on a darker coloured car either grey or black.
