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 Wink

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

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?

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, Big Grin 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
