ah yes lol .. and the whats your secret answer?...whats the question? ... its a secret:doh:

must admit i'm pleased with my Volvo S80, most of my driving is up and down the motorways, i bought it a couple of years ago, it was 2 years old when i got it and to be honest wasn't a car on my radar, i wanted a 530d beemer but the insurance on it was just stupid, it was the dealer that suggested the Volvo, they don't hold their value like a five series so i ended up with something more relaxing to drive on the motorway, newer, better equipped and cheaper, it doesn't look as good from the front and isn't as good a drivers car but it ticks all my boxes

I like the look of them, one of our neighbours has just got one in a deep red. Looks really smart

Yeah the volvo is a nice enough motor. Might just be too pricey tho. Will wait and see if I can go look without mask. If not I've choice of kepping what I have or doing without.

Roll on Tuesday, found a new old stock yamaha fz6 s2, registered 2016 with 0 miles. :)

The only Volvo I'd entertain would be an S90, which is a pretty cool car. (some S80s are decent. too). TBH, I was so pissed off when Saab went out of business, as they made some cracking cars, which simply oozed performance and quality!

However, Granty, if you go for your CX40, I hope it hits the spot:cool:

I could be tempted by one of these [in brutal as fuck 'Shadow Black'], to eventually replace the Brabster: https://www.ford.co.uk/cars/mustang

...but the Giulia is still winking at me;)
