    109k miles but with a few probs. If I can sort out transport, I'm having it. Will get it in tip top order then move my LPG system over and sell the blue V70R. Still delighted with the blue one but the colour isn't as nice as the black - can get proper cleaning OCD with a black car
    Currently - '96 850R auto

    Previously - '97 S70 T5 manual, '98 V70R AWD auto, '98 V70R Auto in Nautic Blue Mica with LPG (went to Germany!), 1996 850R Auto, lots of various 940s, 960s and a crappy 850 2.0

    I think if it hits you in person it might be lucky. I had my p2 V70 bonnet lacquer damaged by the stuff, and never got rid of it totally, so it taught me a lesson to get it off asap.

    The van is white already though? It's the poo with the blackberry(or whatever it is) that does the damage from what I've seen. Can't believe it's nearly a year since we came down to Harwich.

    On our street today, the cars were wet from rain, but then some kids have spread polystyrene crumbs all over the cars, road etc. My R looks like it's snowed.

    I wasn't happy, but thought with the wind and rain it'll soon vanish off the cars. Next door just keep chucking packaging out into their garden without recycling it, so the kids play with it and so on..............................

    That looks stunning in black!

    One thing, its probably no more expensive to have a new LPG kit fitted than it is to swap the kits over, by the time you factor in the labor time of basically doing the job twice, then you will need the certificate for the black one.

    If I include both Alfas, we're on 5 cars in total. I also feed the birds in our back garden, and the cars get bombed at the front.
