The Volvo thread

Fancy that with a demountable camper on top.

Would it need an IVA do you think?!🤔🤣

Dutch plates?

On Sunday (2nd) we followed a very clean looking/well-kept XC70
A '64 plate' in a glorious dark blue
Sorry no photographs/dash-cam downloads (was in SWMBOs Yaris)

Plus........
How about this immaculate 'time warp' 240 Torslanda?

Friday 7th

The caravan opposite had returned, with a XC70, when l got up to the site late this morning
(‘cream’ interior, in the XC70)

Not sure of the year, as it was on a ‘private plate’ (the shape of the indicators will help define it?)
For those interested, it was on 13-pin electrics, with the adapter-cables, to the 12N/12S caravan

The Audi saloon certainly looks out of place!!

Mrs D's C70 was in storage all last year as I was too busy with the new house.

No such excuses any more. Soon as April chimes in its going in for a full brace of belts, service, 4 new tyres and MOT. Thats going to hurt a bit, but it costs what it costs.

 

[Drago]

C70 insured for 1st April. Il, get it booked jn for new belts and an MOT on thst date.

£218 on a mileage limited classic policy with Hegarty, which isnt too bad in this dsy and age.

I saw a very nicely coloured ‘mk1’ XC70 yesterday, it was a quite dark metallic blue

Sunday 2nd

Volvo 960
Wakefield Road/A61
Athersley
Barnsley

Possibly owned by the same person as this Scimitar?

Went to collect my beloved C70 from the tyre fitters and was met with this...

I almost went full Michael Douglas Falling Down on them when I saw that. Of course,they denied it so I whipped my phone out and showed them the pictures I'd taken before walking away this morning.

Face with incontrovertible evidence they folded and gave me £100 off the tyres. When I got home I phoned a local wheel refurb place and they're coming out early Saturday to repair it for £96, so I'm covered financially but what a faffing ballache.

Anyway, for now it's cleaned and put back to bed.

Bugger!!!
My kodiaq needed both rear-tyres, a couple of weeks after purchase (about 2.5mm), I stood & watched them fitted

I did too....

The youngster then (mid job) went inside to drink a Greggs orange juice and chat to the lass who came in for an MOT....

I wasn't entirely happy....
