Yet another small thing, noticed the door lock wouldn't turn so gave it some little attention

Ordered my new number plates today as I got my new registration paperwork!

I'm new here on the forum, sadly crashed my 175k miles Lexus 2001 IS300 a few weeks ago into my garage corner wall and decided to sell it "as-is" with its chassis bolt-ons with a tear in my eye...

Found a cheapo low-mileage manual S60 2.4T from 2001 to replace it, best bang for the buck I could find here locally in France.
I'll post a picture of it next month in front of the Volvo-factory where it was built, as it's in my hometown Gent in Belgium :wink:

It's not 'tuning' we're after, it's 'continuous improvement'...

You’re great for the community Sir!
For me it’s already going out of hands for my new second hand S60, could not pass up a Black Friday deal from an automotive friend, custom tune for e85 ordered... oh boy

I had planned to do the brakes this weekend but they haven't arrived so I settled for a drive. Car really looks quite black in this grey light .
