Re: What did you do to your Volvo today? (now Sticky!!)
My first door ding on my S80 happened while I was in my car! I was visiting relatives who lived in a complex and I was in one of their parking spaces. The woman looked me in the eye and slammed her door into my car and had the nerve to tell me "That's what your insurance is for". My car w...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?
So, today I went by an old buddy of mine in the south of the Netherlands to pick my summer rims for my S70. A while back I decided to freshen up my run down Columba wheels and thought of powder coating them. I'll post some pics when fitted on the car
