Fixed. Watch out for hitting that "post" button too many times , especially if you also use the "back " button on the browser

Isn't the S60R a bit faster? I believe it's 0 - 60 time is under 6 secs.Originally Posted by robcooper

Take out the RS4 Avant, it's definitely too fast to rival the V70R, it has 380hp not 265.

The Saint drove a Volvo! The Volvo 1800. Volvo used to be cool and they're busily trying to recapture it after three decades of building metal boxes. They're not doing a bad job with some models either, though I have to say, the present selection doesn't really float my boat.
But like drakkie says, very well respected manufacturer. My dad has been running Volvos for years now - he still has an old 940 estate and there's not a patch of rust on it - impressive for a car running in the UK every day for over ten years. He'll be gutted when it eventually goes to the scrap heap, but I reckon there's another ten years in it yet! His 240 before that is still going - belongs to some chap a couple of towns away who bought it for £200 and is still running around in it. Passes all its safety checks every year, no worries - looks a bit rough, but who cares? Great cars!

no the RS4 im talkin about is earlier and does have 265bhp. my dads mate used to have one before suspension crapped up. and the reason im bigging it up slightly is because i know its a volvo but its rare and fast and its a great q-car.
Plus its a 2.4 which means twin pipes not single.....
