Default Beverley Folk Festival

Ah, I'm at Beverley Folk Festival (Beverley) otherwise I could have brought my guitar and mandolin, and my sadly vertical friend who plays the fiddle and whistle and had a jolly time.

Sadly vertical as in "Women are like pianos, when they're not upright, they're grand"!

Woah, things aren't always what they seem! I live under a canopy of trees and my 760 gets absolutely splattered by pigeons in just one night. My 940 is parked a bit away from the trees and that gets quite splattered in just one night. We've still got a hose pipe on here in the Thames Valley and even if we didn't have I can't clean two cars more than once a week due to physical limitations (illness) let alone time restrictions and I couldn't afford a car wash at £6 every day, £42 a week, that doesn't shift the poo anyway. Many people who live out in the sticks have this problem, it doesn't mean they don't care about their cars. I had to deliberately buy my 940 checking out the paint code first to make sure it's of the type that is unphased by bird poo

That's fair enough. Its just the impression I get that most middle aged Volvo's remain unloved and are run into the ground by car booters types and people that dont really care about their appearance or the appearance of their car. I see this with 240 estates also. The 240 saloons I now see seem to be moving into the hands of enthusiasts.

Hi 57rkl its evident you havent been watching the wants coloum there are a couple of people asking for 7series and as regards enthusiasts following everything takes time but i do notice there apears to be a big start in the 7series membership and as i was told on Sunday at the southern meet Voc members are beginning to believe that the 700 cars are and will become a classic,just because your car hasnt sold dont blame us 700series members its up to you as a seller to push your own sale,be prepared to take your car at least halveway if someone lives farther away from you and keep your car in tiptop condition at home for viewing purposes,personally i havent seen your advert but even if i had i would not purchase cause i can only drive one at a time and my own in my eyes is perfect..cheers sunnyvic VOC Disabled register
