Nice 940's!

I flip-flop between the 940 and the 960 (mk2) being my favourite car, depending on what one I've just gotten out of.

My 940 is a NA Auto and the drivers seat lumbar support has collapsed and is really rough leather so it can get a bit boring on long journeys, an hour is enough in it, but it's really fun to drive being the ultimate "momentum car" (suck it mx5 owners) and fixing stuff is trivial.

The 960 is more comfortable and has 204hp so it can keep up with the average Ford Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost, until the corners at least. It will drift in "sport" mode but it puts the fear of God in me as it is Noah's Ark confirmed.

Both are firmly in the 200,000 mile camp and I wouldn't swap them for any car on the road today.

I wouldn't mind a manual conversion though....

That's sickening!! i can't believe the money they are now...i learnt to drift in mine but grew tired of the welded diff! i really regret selling it now, i should of just put a proper LSd in it and kept it! Still. the old Volvo is getting interesting now...and it's a much better road car despite it's primative back end.
