Recently my car was wrote off so I was on the lookout for a replacement. Here it is, I pick it up on Wednesday.

Nice buy:) I really like Volvos :o especially the higher powered ones. They're proper sleepers! No barry boy would expect 250bhp under the bonnet of that :D
 
Very, very nice.

I had one for three years and I loved it, especially on the motorway.

It will eat tyres for breakfast, go though suspension bushes every two years, embarrass you at mini roundabouts and annoy you because it's got a massive boot but only a tiny entrance.

However, all off this is forgiven when you drive any length of time and get out of the car feeling just as fresh and relaxed as when you got in, or when you boot it on the slip road leaving something from the far east that's been driving up your backside for dust.

There cannot be anyone left in the known Universe who doesn't know that Volvo do quick yet ordinary looking cars. Rumour has it that even tribes in the Amazon Jungle are aware of the existence of the T5.

I give it a year till they catch on :p

Then hopefully they will get out of the E36's i see running around Didcot at the minute, with silly body kits and massive scoops in the bonnet!



Oh and nice car :D
 
Thanks guys :) I got a lot of stick from some of my friends for getting this, they don't seem to think anyone should own a Volvo at 24!
 
Apparently you can get a remap/chip that brings the power up to 294 BHP, an interesting idea.
