just after washing it, pics taken up at the local golf course where i spotted this

Took advantage of the nice weather today and washed and polished my
S60R. Sunset pics.

Nice pic's guys, O.K come on all other volvo's D5's allowed! LOL :)!
Here is my D5 , to get you going

not washed or waxed but don't look too sad for it!
oops just realised its for phase 2 models, can i keep the pic in this thread anyway :)
Here is my S60
Only one photo from my hols with the T5 in it I'm affraid...
Spot the T5!
I would if i could be Ars-d cleaning mine! in my case the car comes second to it's Owner! lol..
LOL! like the pic Cornclose! oh and excelent choice of colour dear boy, looks great doesnt it ! (mines exactly the same just black leather and spoiler). P.S I call the colour champaign, what do volvo call it? do you know?
Here is mine..

Another none phase2!

Mine today, just fitted the eyebrows!
Not strictly summer pics any more but conditions were ideal today for a quick 'detail'. Mild, but not overly warm, overcast (no bright sunlight) and dry. So here they are...
Oh, to Alv70t5, as far as I know Volvo call the colour 'Ash Gold', which is odd, as it isn't really gold at all, but seems to change colour slightly depending upon lighting conditions...
I have been educated in the art of detailing a volvo the other week and I can honestly say i have never seen a car get cleaned so well and for it to take so long but looked very nice once done. Only problem is I would get very annoyed if I had done that to my car and then a few days later it to be dirty again lol :)
Cornclose, Agreed! mine looks best in bright sunlight (But dont they all) Took good weather over the weekend to do mine also, must post some pic's. P.S thanks for the low down on the colour.
Here's a couple from June, when we went to Wells in Norfolk, parked outside the flat we rented, in the rain, naturally.
Unfortunately everyone was more interested in the 996 Targa than my new Nebulas...:frown:

You need to select an alternative to 'thumbnails'. I used http://www.imageshack.us/ and then selected 'hotlink for forums' further down the page when the picture had loaded.
