I've been on the outlook for a genuine Volvo load safety net for a while and managed to get hold of one today.

I managed to obtain a GLT badge. Saloon cars had them fitted at the factory but I've never seen one factory fitted on an estate car.

Temporarily stuck on with a little blue-tack until I decide if it will be a permanent fixture.

John, i hope you never get bored of that car and sell it on, because no one will keep it the way you can! 👌

SWMBO has told me on more than one occasion that I don't need the 850 and I should sell it. Needless to say when I go to places like Oban or Perthshire or Glamis for car shows she's more happy to come along and get dropped off in the town centre to let me go to the show on my own

I don't need six diesel estates, but my daily driver (850 TDI) i have now owned for 14 years and is getting a little tired, as i have only ever maintained it on a shoe string. My wife's V70 TDI has been written off twice but still comes back to life, so there is two waiting in the wings to replace them. I have one more spare spare 850 TDI and a near mint 850 TDI that sits in the garage for most of its life. I can't see me parting with any of them, until they fall to bits.

Ps, can you do your magic and turn them 90 degrees 😒

I added them to the same post as the other photos. Can you turn them round or do I need to post them again?
