[ITSv40]

At the risk of being accused of willy waving.

I have been a continuous Volvo owner for 45 years. My father bought me a second hand 145S for my 18 birthday and I have kept with the marque ever since.

The 1800 brings back fond memories, although it was a bit agricultural to drive. The second 360 did 270,000mls having bought it as an ex demo. I kept the first V40 for 16 years and covered 370,000mls with only one minor breakdown; I was so pleased with it the only car to replace it was another V40.
