    Washed and Mooses fitted...

    Bought some small yellow prancing moose stickers, so thought it deserved a wash before fitting them



    The blue 850 got some too (green one has had them on for ages)



    Missed a photo opportunity last weekend, my bro brought his 940 up to get his clutch done so we had 3 generations of Volvo sat on the driveway

    Must have the T5 engine though, as there's always some lag before it goes into warp, in fact you can hear the turbo spooling up.

    Cheers bud

    Green one has a serious internal problem, and the Blue one needs its head gasket changing. And the V70 is getting there, needed some TLC.
