I need it out of my system; 240 estate
Yes, I'm back... Again. I need to get those 240 Volvo phase out of my system so I'm after a manual estate somewhere in Scotland or Northern England. Let me know if you see anything I don't; I keep a diligent eye on Auto Trader, Car and Classic, Gumtree and Ebay.

Good, but it's not a phase you know. Once hooked, you are addicted for life.
Mine started 26 years ago when I accidentally bought a 164. It was abandonned in a hotel car park, flat tyres and covered in moss, and I felt sorry for it! I've had 'phases' with other cars (including DS, 911, XJR and M5) but I keep coming back to these faithful rwd Volvos. John |

Im afraid you are unlikely to get it out of your system. Its best just to accept the fact.
Im on my 9th. I went cold turkey for 4 years but eventually had to return to 240 ownership. Its just the way it is.

I concur with the other statements in this thread.
Own one / drive one (or possibly just be driven in one) and you are hooked for life! My 240 experience started with being driven around in one initially in a baby seat, then into the rear passenger seat and when I was tall enough, the front passenger seat. Then finally at age 10 onwards I got to drive it on private land occasionally. Took me everywhere I needed to go until I was ready to take the reins at 17. Anyway - good luck in your car hunting OP - hope you take the plunge and get a good one! |

Imagine my wife's suprise when I pulled into the drive with my latest one after driving more modern offerings for the past few years. She must have thought she had seen the last of the old RWD;s
"Not another old mans car" "But it hasnt got any air conditioning" etc Well, no ones forcing her to ride in it - shes got her own VW Polo! Anyway, I'm happy again
