The forum has spoken, its now official! volvos are super cool!

Electric cars are seriously crap and slow, and they make faster, petrol guzzling large engined cars like ours look bad for not being "eco-friendly"! They should be banned!!
A 480 or what is basically a nice looking milkfloat? I know which i'd go for!



Snail

Wow, didn't realise everyone was so old! but judging by what you guys post on the forum you wouldn't think it!!

Snail

Never knew the bonnet could open even further, very handy to know
Cheers Stu!

Snail

Snail

You poor sod, not been your week at all! :badmood: i only have 3rd party f&t on my precious 480 so i live in fear that some uninsured simpleton does the same 2 me! nice cluster repair by the way, very neat job :D Think you did the right thing at the MOT test centre, would definately have been too mu...

Thanks peeps, put a lot of time into making it! Heres a tip for anyone who is making a parcel shelf: first make a template out of cardboard and use that to mark your mdf, this ensures you get a perfect fit :D This does restrict access to the boot but putting a flap or something in would be pointless...
