    Well you can't top that lot, so all I can say is Mine is ex police, which has very few mods (1/4 leather where the seats would ware most, 18" alloys,) and finally a Polestar re-map, decided my memmory is rubbish enough I would forget to tell Volvo if it whent in NOT to flash the ECU!!.

    I'll add bits and pieces when I can get away with it ;-)
    Present:-

    2008 S60 D5 manual, Polestar 205BHP , 450Nm.

    Past:-

    1998 V40 1.8 manual with LPG conversion. 140k miles
    1997 Vauxhall Vectra 1.8 manual (Total rubbish) 125K miles then died.
    1992 Vauxhall Astra 1.4 GLSi manual, 200K miles
    Volvo 340DL 1.4 manual twin Webbers. 183K miles.
    Volvo 360GLS 2.0 manual petrol 130K miles
    Volvo 265 GLE 2.9 mechanical injection 3 speed auto 220Kmiles.
