No way to Control it...

Volvo 940...It's totally automatic

Now why do Americans always drive Autos? I don't know. But I still bought a Swedish tank for my American girl :)


Volvo 940It's an old 1991 2.0L 940GL Automatic, good nick, very comfy, feels like sitting in an armchair (and handles about the same aswell)

It got christened "The Flying Brick" last Friday.


Volvo 940I love the reg plate aswell - ends in HGV - how appropriate for a Volvo.

Oh, and yes, that was the Pointer Sisters BTW :)

    Nothing wrong with autos! My 307 is auto, and I've done 20k in less than 8 months.... on the motorways (M3/M25 etc). Wouldn't be without it now.

    Although I've got the tiptronic "manual mode" option which is cool when on an empty road...

    Until the speed cams get ya.

    My BBFK: Yeah, well it IS rather comfortable... anything to do with YOU generally tends to be that way... :)

    Me? Cooler? Aw... you're so nice my dear :)

    Yeah, I've got my right knee strapped up :)

    Red: Wow. 30k in a year? You commuters certainly do get some miles under your belts... er... wheels :)

    5k a year does me :)

    Oooh... tiptronic huh? So how does the 6.4 litre V8 Peugeot kick down with that? ;) :p

    Speed Cams... don't talk to me about speed cams... if friends can do 140 in the slow lane then that's fine by me as long as they're safe ;) LOL

    I'm still terrorizing San Diego in the Mustang =). Just spent $1600 on a new transmission and clutch, so I figured I'll keep her around for a while longer. Plus, I want to pay cash for the X5 and the government just took all of my $$$, so it looks like Oct/Nov until I get my new toy ;).

    Vicious Summer: LMAO @ "terrorizing San Diego" =D

    Cash? Wow. Go for it, Summer, I wanna raise the cash to buy and ship your Mustang to the UK ;)
