Here we are, first proper run out in it as a family since we picked it up end of last year.

Wife has also been enjoying her new car on her commute.





I bet that's a belting motor! Bags of room as well...

My ultimate Q car...

Don't have the balls to own one, but having been out in the saloon & touring; the latter wins it every time for me...

Good to see one being properly used with good miles on it too biggrin

Yeah a lovely place to be, drives very nicely, and look pretty bloody good if I say so myself.
The boot is huge, its a pretty long car, and the luggage space really shows.

Also interesting to notice that the number of V60/V90's north of the borders was significantly greater than we are used to here in the Northwest where almost all Volvos are SUVs. From seeing maybe one or two a week to seeing 3 or 4 a day. Mostly in black. Slightly interesting as this car lived most of its its time before us in Galashiels.

I rarely seem them TBH (then again I'm rarely on the roads currently)

I was sorely tempted with a V70R from Japan before I bought my F31 but servicing costs and parts prices/maintenance costs put me off, more so with the Haldex system

I learned to drive in my Dad's 850 T5 Estate in the late 90s laugh Learned to parallel park that ASAP; everything after that was a doddle...

Now they look small compared to modern estates!

1st proper wash by me since last Autumn. I then took it for some fuel and thought the colour looked good under the forecourt lights.

Spielbergs = Performance Pack.

Very usual option on the estate.

Here's the 310 I bought in 2018.



Brilliant car.
