looks great! hope you have years of good safe fun with it

Normally I'd say something about not becoming a statistic but I figure anyone who chose Volvo ownership and survived a crash is more sensible than that
PS love the two x40s in the background

mine was a 12 too, gave me 5 trouble free years, but as you say they are hooligans at times and I needed to slow down a bit. The Hogs paint cost the previous owner £600 and sadly being fuel injected it doesn't say potato potato, more like SPUD SPUD SPUD lol
