My new old persons car - Rich306 - 02-12-2013
Well since I'm moving on from the 306 scene, here is a newer car to get my mitts on.
1.9 T4 2001 Volvo V40 at 200bhp

She is bloody quick, and quite juicy... Guess I'll have to learn how to drive her economically. Like a 'Grandad I suppose'.

Not sure on the colour but i like those volvo bus's. I think my dad had one like that at some point!
RE: My new old persons car - Matt - 03-12-2013
Colour is abit iffy. And I don't really like that shape Volvo, never saw much potential for looking nice
RE: My new old persons car - Rich306 - 03-12-2013
Just as well I think she looks sweet then

I really wanted one of these but I'm probably going to get a 940 turbo or an 850 T5 barge instead.
How much was it?

good motors these are! I was looking at the C30 when I change cars.

Under a grand
And I have really grown to like this car, great fun to drive and f*cking quick!!!! Enough to smash gti'6s all over the place
RE: My new old persons car - strictly_perv - 03-12-2013
What's the handling like? No 306 I'd imagine.
RE: My new old persons car - Rich306 - 03-12-2013
She handles well, obviously room for improvement, but something I'll sort out in time, I'm yet to test her on a decent corner to find out exactly where she lacks......

I borrowed a mates T5 a while back.
Omfg... literally shat my pants each time I got in it. Volvos are great cars. Solid as a rock and suprisingly quick.

Agreed,
I've kinda wanted one for a while, it wasn't until I drove this a few weeks back when my mate bought it that I actually converted from Peugeots. The only reason he sold it to me was A: because I bugged him about it, and B: his insurance sky rocketed because he's only 19 I think?! Lol

Result...
RE: My new old persons car - Jenkosowls - 04-12-2013
My insurance my old 850 has been the cheapest car to insure probably because you'd never drive it of fuel costs
