I thought you might say that Andy!



Cheers Marty.



Yes back on the Volans, I decided that I wasnt 100% with the Trittons on.

After much "uming" and "arrring" I decided I preffer the originality of the Volans.

lol well...

That's what I like to hear a man who listens to reason

[T5frankie]

the volans look better on your car mate

[The Flying Moose]

Ok you made your point gents!

[Dangerous Dave]

Maybe its just me I just look at the side of the car at the moment, infact since the tritons went on and think "whats missing?". It looks almost too plain?

Its missing some little yellow prancing moose stickers above the side repeaters.

Im looking at loans at the moment for £3500 to buy that Black S60R Manual... nobody is biting though

Seriously I'd be looking for 7k if you want that S60R... they're like Cossies you need to be able to buy them twice over

Although I have been getting thoughts about buying one myself........... Think I'd go for an V70R though as they're better looking imho

I agree, to be honest all Volvo's are moneypits... well mine are at least.

I agree too that the V70R looks better but typically demands twice the premium.

By mid next year I think ill have one though, wouldnt sell the 850R though that can go into permanent hibernation for a few years till they are so rare and demand a 10k premium. lol .... dream, dream, dream!

about sale values .. lol

Yes they do seem to be money pits.. I estimated I would need £3,000 recon/upgrade costs when I bought mine.... how very wrong I have been! lol

[LiamT4]

I must be lucky with my volvos, always been reliable.

(although now i'v said that, it'll probably fail its mot on sat and cost me loads! lol)

I see a very nice black V70R quite often now, on my way home from work. Still prefer the saloons though.

the saloons dont look as nice as the estates, thats what volvos are known for

Yeah sales values..

I dont care about running costs, I wouldnt drive a T5 if I did and I certainly wouldnt do 20k a year in one!

Lifes to short, besides if your short on cash scrap the Caviar and quails eggs and down to Tesco value

Oh wait a minute... dreaming again.

Maybe, but saloons are what i like.

[T5frankie]

Maybe, but saloons are what i like.

especially when they are german lol

[p fandango]

Maybe, but saloons are what i like.

i had the choice of saloon or estate when i bought BT, both same colour & same spec. Estates are common which is why i wanted to be different

[LiamT4]

especially when they are german lol

You know what, volvo are really the only car maker where i do like the estates, apart from the old e30 estates and the RS2, not many others around.

Oh dear you've gone and done it now....! lol

Definately prefer the 850 and 70 series as saloons but prefer the earlier and later cars as estates.. I've never been fond of the S60 rear end.. Although an S60 R with a modified carbon fibre boot lid and?



Now we're talking, although you can forget that gash lower skirt kit

Umm sometimes it's good to be different though

i'd like one of these
