Amazing how closely this distribution matches the UK Age Distribution

American source used as the picture was prettier

Don't know why I waited so long to get a Volvo.
The young'ns are running away with it so far.

My first real exposure to the brand was less than three months ago after somebody had reversed into me and I was given a V70 as a hire car. It opened my eyes to how good they are.

Back in the mid 90's I had a 240DL estate for a few months while waiting for a new car, it was my employers ex engineering vehicle, 2.3 petrol low compession petrol lump, had 280,000 on the clock, built like a tank and I felt very vulnerable when I got my new car (Astra).....sold it to a mate who still has it, passes every MOT first time!

My first Volvo experience was a 1997 V40 estate, bought at 9 years old. OK but very flaky electrics and had a habit of requiring expensive rear suspension bushes (only available as an exchange unit with the radius arm).Apart from that though, it was well built and had great paintwork.

I probably shouldn't admit it on here but it was scrapped last year under the Govt scrappage scheme against a new Fiat 500!

I'll probably get banned now from the Volvo Forum!
