My right leg is the brake servo. It has DIRECT INJECTION and TURBO, and drilled and grooved discs for SPORTS.

That would be sensible. This car is from 1996.

Astra VAN EDITION.

If it's a Corsa A on 17inch 5 spokes I'm going to have you put in a home.

Yes. It looks uncannily like @reb's one but is  manual with a black interior. 

[Ghosty]

Manual? He'll be jealous. 

[Split_Pin]

A Volvo leaving Volvo Jim's place alive and in one piece? I didn't know such a thing occured! I do love driving past there, it's not far from me.

[reb]

Uncanny, it's even similarly afflicted in the ABS department! I am indeed jealous of the manual goodness!

[juular]

I don't think the other Volvos there have seen such a clean Volvo. They all had to gather round for a look.

It didn't come from him but if I hadn't bought it, it would have entered his domain and never left.

Do you still have the ex Burnside Cav?

Yes but I'm not sure what to do with it now. Still needs some boot floor and the emissions sorted out. 

[Jim Bell]

It looks STONKING. How does it rate against the V70 man?

[reb]

Just had another look at the photos, I might be able to furnish you with a replacement for the broken handbrake surround.

The engine and gearbox are smoother in the 850 and I think it goes a bit better, stops a lot worse. It is less scruffy than the S70.

Thanks for the offer but I'm not too fussed about wee bits of trim.
