Such a shame it wasn't a V90 , I might of hit up a conversation


So the viewing is booked for 1pm on Sunday, so we shall see

I have eyed up the following

https://accessories.volvocars.com/en...CC-516009/2018

As possible replacements for the 21's, I reckon I'd probably nearly break even with a bit of selling involved.


Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd ....I am now tipping the sofa over to see what change I can find as this cropped on my radar today

I just can't justify the price but then again it would be a keeper for a good 5 + years

Garage door would have to be replaced from an up and over to a side hinge type but my partners Tiguan would fit in the garage then.......


There is also this available but the mileage is a bit on the high side for my liking but they do keep their value well.

Cost a fair wack in Fuel but meh.... such is life I recko £30 a week would keep me tootling to work a week instead of the £20 I put in the Superb, it's only a 9 mile journey but my job entails me travelling to Lutterworth from Leeds which is a 220 mile round trip twice a month (work pay for the fuel) and we travel quite a bit to my folks, I reckon cruising you'd get low to mid 30's.

The only other thing that has caught my eye is this, however it is a Momentum Pro spec and the ad is pretty rubbish at listing what it has and hasn't got..... It does the HK system. Trained as a professional Music Technician but ended up doing a totally different job. So the sound system is a mustttt...........either HK or B&W, after living with the Canton System I can't go back to 130w's

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut

I have noticed this clause on almost every advert hidden in the fine print

*If the list price of a car is over £40,000, then an extra £320 will be payable from the second time the vehicle is taxed for up to 5 year


That makes the tax £465.!!!!! a year

What on earth ??.........mine is £30 , that's 15x's the cost I pay now ...
