    NICE! Even the other half who can't stand estates was like "ooh, looks nice in red" did they ever do a proper red p2 v70R?

    Like the clocks, but not a fan of the simple looking dashboards in the newer volvos I'm afraid.....I like buttons!lol

    I've only one or two of my old one, so thought it would be nice to see some more nice classic Volvos and the T5R estate was always the best looking out of the 850's in my opinion.

    I will say I'm not a massive fan of the face lift, I think it's quite buisness and gentlemanly looking, I do of course still like it, but I'm not old enough to pull that off and appreciate it, most would say I drive a Volvo in the first place so your more than old enough lol.
    That interior is a hands down winner for me though, it's perfect! No wood , perfect colour leather and boy look at those gadgets, would I sacrifice my opinion about the looks for that cabin, hell yeah!
    I would be moving in there. The Speedos are the nuts. How is the video quality on the rear monitors?
    Thanks

    Putting on 20's would be almost like driving on cobbles all day.

    Lovely looking car Steve, 2 new cars in 1 weekend is just greedy though. So, when's it being remapped, and when are you taking it up the strip? Nice to see you went for a manual to get your times down.
