Mirror, mirror, on the volvo. Whos the fairest of them all.









Not bad for an old girl.
Why have you got bits of house painted on your Volvo? Completely spoils it for me.

Snap!
MissB gave my old S60 (her car) it's Pre-MOT wash this morning (her sense of humour shining through)





MOT = PASS always a relief.

If I ever saw an S60 in more dire need of a machine polishing session, I can't remember it!

It's no wonder you don't often post pics on voc, the puritans would put you in a wicker-man on a clifftop!


Hahahahaah

Should powerflex them mate, you won't need to do them again. I can refurb your old ones if you still have them.

Take off the slash, mask the outer chrome bit and spray the egg-crate bit satin black. That'll freshen it up a bit smile

After waving goodbye to our Accord Tourer after 6 years, and needing something with bigger load capacity there could only be one choice (ok 2 choices, but the 2010> shape e-class was just out of budget biggrin)

So we went for a V70.



1 week into ownership and we're really pleased. Very well put together car, and very comfy seats.

The egg-crate bits fine Martin, it's more the badge that looks stey.

I know there is a way of removing the chrome strip and badge leaving just the grill I might try at some point.

You need a set of picking tools and mind yer fingers!

Those little washer-clip-thingies are a nightmare!

Sort of, nasty little washer with grippy little blades round the inside.

Hateful things.
