    Spent a day polishing on Saturday and still shining like a ****house door, my lovely 117k mile TDi;





    Still feel irrationally fond of it, can't imagine many people treating a T reg car so well. As another poster on here mentioned yesterday, driving past all these glum faced drivers of new cars, money does not guarantee happiness.

    It's a funny thing isn't it? My car isn't worth a lot, and most people don't even notice it, but I get such satisfaction from having a rare and interesting 15 year old car and knowing that it costs me a fraction of owning ANY new car (zero depreciation) and to be lucky enough to have such a nice example is great.

    And you can't buy that.

    This is one with pre-refurbished Volans...



    and not to be seen again I think:

    Hi, I am going through lots of old stuff, I joined up again just this week after an absence of three years and your comments sum up just how I feel. I bought a 1999 V70 SE 170bhp in really lovely condition with full leather and all of the goodies for a grand this week and that is after using a Peugeot 406 estate for the last 3 years, a very ordinary car, good and nice, but ordinary and nothing like owning a Volvo, which just makes me smile and smile, it is very difficult to explain. Very nice car by the way, reminds me of the 850T5 Estate I had in 2009. Cheers, James.

    This is like Readers Wives - err, not that I have ever seen such magazines...but a bloke at the bus stop once told me all about them. Honest. Mind you, the bodywork on this lot is a darn sight more attractive and not a patch of floral wallpaper in sight...although you may see some stained velour on some of the older models...

    That T5R is a very tasty looking motor... Not a great fan of saloons, but that is looking good.
