I guess i could say that the only Volvo i've driven is a 240GL 1988 F-Reg, so it is a "real" one!!

Used to work in an antiques centre.  Surrounded by volvos.  Very easy to load up, fit lots of stuff in.  Good for big dogs too.  Very smooth auto boxes.  Aggressive seat heaters.


A VR6 isn't a way of life, it's just a car.
