    I want a tap

    Since moving out of my mum and dads, my place doesnt have an out door tap!!!! Its freaking me out knowing I have lots of products to keep my car clean but I need to travel 30 miles to use them. The V70 Is hardly ever used just now because there salting the roads and I cant wash it off when I get home.
    At my dads as well I had everything organised in boxes and on really nice shelfs, I need to try and sort my garage out because its a dumping ground just now, but there is a industrial 110V Karcher sitting there waiting to get used. I also stole my dads george hoover so he had to fork out for a new one least I can keep the inside clean
    Hope I get a tap soon
    Thanks

    My suggestion is to travel a bit more than 30 miles to Lancashire, I'll clean your car for you, before buying it off you and sending you Home on a train. Deal?

    I know my brother in law and father inlaw to be are both plumbers, im just sitting waiting.
    The big problem is I stay in a semi detached flat, and I have the upstairs one, my downstairs neighbour has said we can plumb into her water if we want, that way it would stop a water pipe running down the wall of the house.
    Thanks

    Lol thought you were on about the new one, I'm about to put the saffy through its MOT soon, going to use it as my wedding car, I know one of my front callipers is sticky from sitting but hopefully it will slacken off and it will pass.
    I promised her I wont be spending money on it if in needs it for its MOT. So it would just go back in its shed if it fails
    Thanks

    I'll be your chauffeur for the wedding, and buy the car for def., if it fails it's MOT. Your Mrs to be Volvokid would then be very happy, and so would I!!

    You can't put the saffy in a shed, cos it ain't no chicken.

    Hey that would solve my driver problem I was going to use my best man but dont know how that would work lol. She would be very happy with that but TBH the saffy doesnt bother her to much because it cost no money and she never sees it lol.
    That car aint perfect btw it has a couple of things that I WILL sort on it but nothing major I bought a second hand twin exit bumper for it and got it sprayed twice once by Volvo and once buy another paint shop and i'm not happy with the finish at all, I would have been cheaper buying a new one from Volvo, I travelled down to London to pick the thing up to, fingers burnt I would say with that one.
    It has is a tiny dent on the rear quarter dont have a clue how that happened it looks like a door dent, think it must have happened when I took it to the car show.
    I think my AC has seized with sitting too.
    Other than this wedding the car will never be used again until I'm happy with it, fingers x'd I can save some pennys and she wont know what im doing haha
    Thanks

    I would seriously do the chauffeuring, but would have quite a journey upto you. The problems with the car don't concern me at all, but again seriously, if you want to sell, I' waiting!!!

    When is the 'big' day?

    I have thought of selling it in the past Kybosh (RIP) was away to buy it for 5k before he died and as you know thats alot of cash, I hope I never sell it though, I would love to keep it until its a true classic, this was my dream car after all and money aint everything.
    The big day is the 23rd of June, I have had a mental roller coaster year, from supposed to be moving to canada, selling my C70 for the move, finding out about having a baby, ripping up my contract for my new job abroad because of the baby lol, saving for my deposit for my house, buying my new R and now saving for this wedding. Its been nuts but my family have really supported me through it all.

    Cant wait really the next 2 weekends are booked for photographer and wedding cake appointments lol going to get fat with cake samples
    Thanks

    I like to think I've helped support you too (financially)!!! ;-)


    Meet Abby, an elegant lady... Still, very willing to go topless in public. All I gotta do is push the right buttons...
