I used my sonic for 3 years as a daily, school runs etc which it was brilliant at, but bought an xc90 now which does all the family work and it now sits outside and covered only 700 miles this year.
Oh I nearly forgot, the car.
Well as it happens it's had a bit of money spent on it a few years ago. Firstly it had a new engine, turbo, E.C.U & every sensor replaced at Volvo, cost £12K!
It also has an M.T.E map & a Tim Williams inter cooler & shimmed block now.

I had bought these for my other car, but to be honest I DONT they suited it quite right.
So this how they ended up on this car.
I imported these direct from Italy & saved nearly £400 from the U.K R.R.P.
Goodyear's finest.
Ta Da! (Notice the black wheel weights) well maybe not ? But there on there, trust me.
The next problem was they didn't bloody fit! Even though various sellers had told me they would!
These were made by a local engineering company, combined spacer & spigot that stays clipped into the wheel.

I have an absolute limit of 5 cars and bought a manual s60r 2005 to mess about with on up and coming volvo track days I'm organising, I could drive it to Sweden, but before buying I was looking at v8 xc90s they're very nice, I missed out on one a while back.
Been thinking about a t6 xc60 but again bought a T5r which I'm just about finished with and willl be moving on.
Btw xc90 is old and now sorted mechanically, only meant to be a cheap daily but does everything, wife's newish low miles car doesn't get used. They are so practical and comfy I did 1100 miles in one day only stopping for fuel, that was solo driving.
