As the wife has the complete box I have been "forced" to watch it..... anyway, Edward first drives a C30, then an XC60 and then finally an S60 R-Design.

Love that, though I still think this is the best Test Drive/Ride of a vehicle.

+ YouTube Video

I saw a V40 on BBC Scotland's News last night. Twas an XS model I think and was in a right state as they were doing a piece on what to look out for when buying a used car. Poor V40

Watched "A Mothers Son" on ITV last night....the mother drives a V70 DriveE R-Design. Although later in the movie, the father drives off in it and when starting the car it sounds more like a T5 or pos T6!

I've been watching the Inspector Morse boxset and the main car in every second or third episode is a Volvo 240/740 estate..! Aside from Morse's 248 RPA Mark II, of course..
