Just for fun guys and gals. I thought i'd post some night time interior photo's. You are free to wander round the cabin in an orderly fashion

Ladies and gentlemen..the current temperature is a calm 7 degrees celcius. We will shortly be arriving in 'R' land. I hope you have enjoyed your stay and i look forwards to seeing you all again in the future. Please mind your heads as you exit the 'R'.

225 MILES TO EMPTY TANk ! mine usaully says 25 miles

**v70torslanda** · Friday 5th February 2010, 10:09

225 to EMPTY?

With over HALF A TANK?

What's your average MPG fercrissakes?

**Libra** · Friday 5th February 2010, 10:45

225 to empty on just over half a tank. Well in my R, driving sensibly I am getting around 22.9-30.2 mpg. I currently have half a tank and the computer says 175 miles to empty. Believe me, it is hard driving this carefully and also trying to keep the average mpg up. When I look at the instantaneous mpg, its just scares me.

Sorry to get side tracked. Loverly interior, although I would say that

Nice car
MPG?? You dont buy these if your trying to win economy contests you just enjoy it and live with the discomfort of giving Gordon more tax.

Yes. I also love the way you have no control over the light settings on the speedo...other than brightness, it automatically controls when the outer ring lights up etc. Beautiful.

I'm lost what do you mean by that you have no control and the rings automatically light up? Its just LED's that shine down on the face of the speedo you can see them, there is no back lighting.

During daylight hours (before the light sensor alters the dash) the LED's light up the dash, as you say. But, once it gets dark then the back light switches on because all the little white lines around the outside of the speedo and rev gauge light up. It definitely has back lighting.

I have noticed how rusty the bolts are in the S60 compared to my V70 or the 850 must be a Ford thing

handbags at dawn.... or maybe midday... or maybe 10pm ?

If you have a button Fettish the S60 is definitely the car for you - My dashboard feels underdressed now - Awesome interior tho, sat in one a while back - felt really solid and premium in there.

Sorry, i was very tired and switched pc off after that post and went to bed. Wasn't being arsey just thought it didn't matter what the time was but that it was dark and that was all that mattered. I apologise if you were offended...
