I've had just the one Volvo (see sig piccy), and it's been my everyday car for the last 5 years

However there have been a few more recent ones in the family - my parents had a dark blue 745 GL G436UYW (or was it UYM?) followed by a metallic battleship grey 945 SET J907HUS before dad bought the Amazon (early '94, during their divorce). Dad now has an L reg 855 2.0 as a station car / hack for the last 6 years & my aunt has had a K reg 965 for a similar period of time.

I've only owned a couple but I my parents have also owned a couple

1st Old P REG 264 Dark blue
2nd A reg (84) 245 GLE 2.0l

My Volvo's

1st G reg (90 Facelift) 740GLE 2.3i (B230) Estate
2nd F reg (89) 740 Turbo (B230ET) Estate, I love it, it's great fun for a big car and puts more modern cars to shame in performance and build quality.

The big problem I have with Volvo's is, I would like a smaller engine size (lower tax bracket) for around town use but I don't like the 3 or 4 Series and I can't stand most other makes after owning most of them so I'm stuck with looking for a cheap Honda/Toyota.
