Default Goodbye Volvo :(

My mother has now taken ownership of my v40...and this afternoon I shall be collecting a 2004 Saab 93 2.0T Aero. I was unable to find a decent T4 in the area and most of the s60s are auto and too slow. The Saab was cheap, goes bloody quick and drives nice. Just has a few little bits to do on it...also the stereo sucks...that will need sorting.

Thank you to everyone who helped me etc, you are a good bunch.

I will still pop on here occasionally as I still kinda have a Volvo...just by proxy now!

Sad to see you go Kev. Even though, I am sure you will be around a bit whenever your mum's car needs something
