Pictures of my ruined '85 340:
The driver (older woman) in the Renault Kangoo didn't stopped at STOP sign and i didn't had a time to react because she appeared in front of me like the lightening from the sky.
She admitted that she didn't even try to stop or to slow down because she was in a hurry to drive her's mother to a hospital.
Thank god,all of us were ok.
Thank you,Volvo.

Well, it's been almost two weeks since I bought the car, but it's finally back on the road again after replacing the broken radiator and removing a bunch of the mods the previous owner had done, so here's my '96 850 Platinum wagon, Loki...
I need to give it a full Zaino spa treatment, but there was only enough time today to give it a quick wash and take some pictures.

Polish the engine and it will look 100x better.
Takes a few hours, but well worth the work.
This is my 99 V70. 180,000 miles and still kicking. I put 30k on in 6 months and it didn't complain a bit. Recently I slid off the road at about 50 mph and slammed into a curb. I lost my air dam and a lower control arm and after 2-3 hours of work and a badly needed alignment, the car is back in business.








To do list:
Subframe/Control arms-Done
PCV replacement-Done
Alternator-Done
Stupid stalling issue-Next
ABS module-Next
Stupid hood latch
Small cosmetic fixes

Hi MVS, I'm new here and just picked up my first Volvo yesterday. Its a 2005 wagon V70 2.4 with some subtle cosmetic "enhancements" (Dogs chew on volvo's? Fenders and rear bumper must have been delicious!?) and 160k. Runs smooth, and will be a great family/everyday driver no doubt. Already picking up valuable info from MVS on how to fix the floppy key fob, etc... see you around.

Rob, that S70 of yours is just gorgeous, with a sprinkle of menace.
Jesse, got bored of the XC70? I had a feeling after you posted something like "I miss the sport of the S70 T5 SE". Good for you. Drive the car that makes you happy. Good looking S60. I love silver cars for practical reasons.
Dan0, welcome!
1800ES, beauty Platinum. I hope to own one one day.
