    my v70

    Hi

    Quite new on here so this is my car

    Brought it a few months ago, it was one of them cars that was on the edge of going down hill really, it needed some tlc. It was so filthy inside and out ! I've lost count of how many times i have cleaned it.

    It was overdue a service, cambelt was due, and needed 2 front tyres and just had loads of other niggles.

    Does look very tidy mate, you cleaning skills really have done the exterior justice.
    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....
