    Currently I own this Volvo only. I sold Goldie the 740 saloon, which was a good thing at the time but I didn't buy it back when it went back up for sale, and I regret it.

    Bit of an update! It's been a bit slow this year. I've mainly been either using the 940 for work (so not willing to modify it), or I've been battling reliability issues, mainly on the wiring front....

    Hi all,
