Or should I say ***HIS five pounds***

Bought another Volvo. Oh dear. Oh deary me. And it's very far away. A collection thread will of course follow.

[brickwall]

Post, wait for, we will

[Spiny Norman]

And how many cylinders does this particular one hide under its bushel?

[davidfowler2000]

It's a 6 banger

[Lacquer Peel]

Diesel?

[davidfowler2000]

Pez

[Lacquer Peel]

Poor effort, the diesel is quick*, efficient*, and refined*.

 

*none of the above.

[Spiny Norman]

It's a 6 banger

 

  V or straight?

[cms206]

I have seen photos... It'll either be a wreck or a total honey. The tailgate is the same colour as the car so it's already down at the bottom of my expectations, but it is a strange spec so it may well turn out to be fairly pleasant.

Excelsior! In Volvo nostro regardis! Presto carverarium veni dolce.

Scotoshiter in Volvo buying shocker ... Would it be a 960?

[Shep Shepherd]

Free money???

 

Looking forward to seeing the collection thread

[davidfowler2000]

Tis a 960 aye. 3.0 straight 6 estate in the correct Regency Red. Bonus shitey points go to a grey cloth interior and somewhat missing air conditioning. Should have asked more specfically if it is simply not there or is there but dud. I thought the 960 had WIND as standard?

 

Oh and I'll try to make the collection thread in the same style as the previous one only with MOAR FOTOS

[Junkman]

Aren't those the ones that even in scientific terms are fuggin fast?

[rml2345]

Yup. The 960 is a perfect example of brute force over ignorance, having the aerodynamics of a brick but still being chuffing quick.

Shall we call you two bricks Fowler now?

[Lacquer Peel]

I'm not sure about aerodynamics of a brick, because as blocky as the '900 series' cars look, the drag coefficient is only .360.

[Sigmund Fraud]

Excellent work, sir ! One can never have enough boxy Volvos !!!

 

Looking forward to an epic collection thread with photos !

[davidfowler2000]

Update...

 

Collection complete. Collection thread in the offing. After a 22 hour day and 10 hours sleep Im still fucked. That and its too nice to be inside all day so I may get it done between spells in the back garden with a refreshing beverage.
