Now i love my 'R' but as a daily driver for me to do the 100 miles i do everyday i would need to have my own petrol station lol, so this is the car me and my dad use for daily duties.

Its a S60 D5 SPORT [185] Manuel. I searched for ages to find a sport with the (space ball gear set up and found this one) its a 2005 with now 91k on it and its serviced by me and a garage every 5 to 7k as i do 100 miles a day in it.

Now it has the option of the lower chassis set up as you can see from the pics. and it is a genuine volvo option on this car. I have put on it conty contact 3's on her and have done me very well so far as i have owned her for a year now. Had nothing go wrong with her as she came with a full volvo main dealer service history which is always good. The only thing im going to do to her is get all 4 alloys refurb.

Looks very nice. Whats the lower chassis option? Is it just lowering springs?

Yea it is, my mate across the road had from new a baby blue s60 54plate d5 sport [185] and he opted for the 'lowered chassis' which was lowered springs all round, I rare option I'm told, so when I got my s60 I rang a volvo garage down sound and guess what they are still listed :) so the plastic came out and in few days I had my springs :)
