Son of Voltan

Post by indigolemon » Sun May 11, 2014 9:38 pm

Time to come clean, I've purchased a new car to replace the Prelude, and err ... it's not a Honda. Sorry. I decided that it was time to try something different, take a break from what I know, and give myself time to regroup. So, on Tuesday, I will be taking ownership of this handsome fellow:

My last Volvo was a 1997 850 2.5 10v, we named him Voltan after Brian Blesseds character in Flash Gordon, as we figured if a Volvo had a voice, it would be Brian Blessed's.

This one is a 2005 S60 2.5T SE, and it has a full service history, and all the toys. I'll post up more pics etc after I get my grubby mitts on it and give it a good clean and polish.

Please don't kill me, I will get another lude as soon as I have a garage to work on it in!

Looks clean and a good buy but as with most you will end up with another lude at some point ;)

Nice, I like Volvos, especially turbo ones 8-) my aunt has a a V70 turbo estate, it's got a custom stainless exhaust, has been remapped and it goes like jobby off a shovel! It does make me laugh that she bought it to lug the dogs about in :lol:

We looked at a Volvo V40 before we bought Laura's Civic as I similarly fancied a change, I kind of wish I had now thinking back :oops:

At any rate that car looks cool. Nice purchase there 8-)

Already read this on fb and as said on there by someone else BIKERS BEWARE volvo drivers cause the worse chaos on the roads in the world. On a brighter note they are a fairly quick car from what I can gather and with those advancing years creaping up like a bad dose of the clap a more comfy and old man like car will suit your needs better. :D I shall continue to find you a bargain white 4g in scotland for your weekend toy to relieve the boredom of having no rust to chase and far fewer visits to the doctors for bruised thumbs .

Merlin, that dog is cheating - they're ordinary glasses, not sunnies! (the wig doesn't get you any extra bonus points, either ;) )

Good to see you back on the road at least! 8-)

shame it's not in a Lude though :evil:

I guess there isn't really anything that can replace the Lude so going a completely different route was the way to go :D

Looks like a very nice example. I liked the shape of these, especially where the bodywork rolls over the rear lights 8-)
