My Volvo 850 Platinum- Pics!

Post by Volvo4251 »

Hi all,

Not to "toot my own horn" so to say, but I took some pictures of my 850 Platinum and just want to hear what everyone thinks! I'm usually not very good with a camera, but today I felt like I captured the beauty of that wonderful pearlescent paint- it's no easy task. Just posting for the enthusiast 850 owner, or us few Platinum owners...
Thanks!

Sorry for the half chopped shots... This site doesn't like photobucket very much apparently.

Fixed your pictures for ya (uploaded them to the site under your user account).

Beautiful car. I wish my paint was still as pretty as when I got it a few years ago.
