Default What type of Volvo do you own?

Time has come to find out which is the most prevalent model amongst forum users. Is the typical Volvo owner one who has an old, battered but faithfull 2/7/900, is he/she a 'beardy' type who spends all weekend polishing his P1800/Amazon/100/200/300/400/700/900 series or are they an affluent middle class person with the 3yr old V70/S60/S40/V50 and 2.4 kids???

You can vote for more than one series.



Note, this is a new poll to replace the last one which contained mistakes.

Blast, damn it and other sundry swearing type phrases!

I've forgotten the 400 series....

Iain, could you merge the 7/900 and add the 400 as a new category?

I have changed the poll as requested
