Only gone and done it....
Say Hello to "Viveca" Volvo. (Everything I have with an engine has a name)
I went off at a tangent after looking at 2 S60's that were lets say "not exactly as described" by their owners and stumbled across this 1 owner S40 08 plate about an hour away. FVSH, timing belt done 3 months ago and possibly 1000 miles ago 4 new branded tyres. She's well equiped for what I want (xenon's would have been the cherry on top) and on the test drive I was very surprised how well it pulled and how comfortable she is considering 120.000 miles are on the clock. Everything worked as it should and I'm quite chuffed with her. She won't win any beauty contests but she's going to be a work horse not a show pony.!! |

I have to make a run now and then to and from Rotterdam and while the S60 may have been more appropriate I genuinely think this will do the job just as well. I'm like a kid and can't wait for the train ride tomorrow to go and get it. |

Enjoy your trip to Rotterdam, I spent time around Delft, Schipluiden and Den Horn many moons ago. TT

very nice looking car what engine is it?
Love those S40's and am on my second one here! had a black 2.0d Rdesign S40 which was great, when commuting mileage went down I switched and got the T5 but still in black so still pretty much looked the same which was nice. Enjoy the car!
