Now I thought I would be the young one at the Volvo forum, being only 24.
Instead I think I'm one of the older members (and one without even a 480 now!).

There is obviously a very strong following for these from young people, and hopefully the better end of youth driving ;)

Wonder how long 'til one appears in Max Power ?!
