And she's gone!
« on: 07 October 2012, 15:23 »
So I sold my blue CC today for £830, very pleased! I made a nice little profit for my time with her.

I guess it's time to get my 480 out the garage now, very excited!


How long until someone posts "You'll be back!"?

They're fun little cars, not many left either.

I liked the onboard computer and pop up lights.

I'll probably get told off for this but...



Different wheels and a touch of lowering and I'll have a nice car  :cool:

I a recovering Volvo owner, pissed all our money away on various sports barges :grin:
Had quite a few turbo and V6 240's, 760 GLE's (both types) 960 360's etc etc, then she said your not having another Volvo and made me buy a Mk2 Golf GTI (I'm on number 7) :whistle:

Leave it standard mate...much as it pains me to say it, not every car 'needs' to be lowered.

I have been in 2 minds whether to actually bother lowering it, definitely going to buy some fancy wheels though!
Some Lensos or similar.

Looks stunning...

A guy at work has one of those, the turbo version. Lowered 40mm on springs.  Pretty cool.  :cool:
