After some inspiration from the Lovely pics of Graham & MRP's car, i thought id better get some polish and wax out.

Well i think she turned out ok. Bearing in mind she has done 145,000 miles and idealy wants to o/s doors.

Volvos used to be famous for their good turning circles. Now, as you say they're terrible and when you do throw it in to full lock it really gives you some nasty scraping sounds to protest about it!

If you want me to have a go at it, bring it on Sunday, and I'll take it home with me.
