Drives like a Horse ??
 
Just browsing the bay and I noticed this advert for a V70

[COLOR="Red"]This is my Volvo V70, Petrol, 2.4, It has New Tyres, New Engine Filters, New Engine Oil,
Just Passed MOT with no Advisory, has 12 Months MOT, Drives like horse, has some light in dashboard but nothing to worry about, drives fine with no issues. first to see will buy, Clean in and out everything working. good luck. for any question call

Does anybody know exactly what drives like horse means ?:teeth_smile::teeth_smile:

Does it not rather depend upon what type of horse to which the car is being compared? While my old 745 certainly exhibited many of the traits of the cart horse, a Grand National winner it most definitely was not! Horses for courses, perhaps??

That's what I like to see. A good, accurate description!

I see this is still being advertised on fleabay...even after it has been sold, two more listings...
Makes you wonder about the seller being genuine...

With the 'nothing to worry about' light on the dash it's probably in limp home mode so the performance is down, add on the roomy estate body and it drives..

like a Hearse :D

If it runs on grass and the exhaust is something I can use on my roses...
