[quote=Mrsmopp;233169]So that brings the family total of volvo's to what?? Is this a daily driver or a project?[/quote] Hi mrs mop at the mo we have 6 family volvos and 4 of them are myne but at one point between me my dad and my mum we had 9. The thing is some people have loads of kids but we would preffer to have loads of volvos as they are a hell of alot quieter, less maintainance and they dont give me a head ake every day lol ive only got a daughter and thats all im having. As for it being a dd or project i havent got a clue at the mo it just looks nice in my back garden

People in the stated are claiming some good figures on these with just a few mods and the roar is a1
