On the other hand, there are also cars in cold areas that have AC

.

Explanation could be, that this car was imported as a used car, from Europe, maybe.

Just wait for a snowflake to claim you are racist, denying W Africans heated seats

.

Like most things in cars it's got an off button so optional to use.

Now you mention it..

You wouldn't mind bringing it back home?

Interior is good. The rest not so much! Service comes with a hammer, screwdriver and 1 spanner and the oil burns till it's gone!

ThomasG · Feb 13th, 2019, 11:05

Yup.. Sounds like mine

That Greek mechanic promised to have it fixed "pro public bono", as a statement of his skill..

Visisting The Gambia some yrears ago, I got a trip round a freighter which was disgorging LHD cars from the EU MINUS windscreens. They come on a seperate shipment to cut out pilfering!

So now you know to take your windscreen out every night when parked on the road and it won't be whisked away to Africa!

The Volvo comes ready fitted with a space saver. 3 wheels and the saver.............
