So then, Cumbria must be nearer the US - usual English/Welsh/Scottish/Irish other wise known a UK English, spelling is faecal - but that could well lead us back to the independence debate once more - but who cares it still means a load of sh1t, just depends where Noah actually unloaded the arc.

It doesn't - I was looking at 2 different threads and mixed Peak with Lake - hence translocation/transposed....from Peak District to Lake District ending up eating humble pie in Kent, but none the less, would still buy another Volvo.

I'm not convinced that I would buy a modern Volvo until either they bring out a decent performance version or they stopped with all the electrical trickery so that they don't break all the time.

I'll stick with the 850 and p1 V70 thanks..

Hate to be pedantic Paul, but do you mean 'taking the upper hand' ? Feels more like 'turning the other cheek', or 'taking the moral high ground' to me?
At least that's what I'd say if it was me you were talking about......
