The Volvo thread

[Richard A Thackeray]

Im not an expert that does look real to me.

It could be ‘interesting’ when loaded on loose/wet roads?
Traction must be at a premium?

They may have nicked the RWD mechanism from the old March F1 cars ?

Have you joined the high mileage register? Volvo used to give bronze, silver and gold grille badges at 100, 250 and 500k miles, but I dknt think they do any more.

Indeed, Volvo seems to be the only brand where owners take a perverse pleasure in big miles. In a Ford. Citroen or even some Japanese tin people would crap their pants at those type of numbers.

£1400 for a new sat back exhaust rrom Volvo for the C70, and thats including my VOC discount.

£200-300 for a pattern item of dubious fit and quality.

Or £450 for a Jetex stainless pipe with a lifetime warranty.

Now let me see if you can guess which way my money went...?

It's apparently cheaper to get a full stainless for things like the old Ford S-Max than try and get a standard aftermarket/OEM exhaust. Crazy really.

@Drago

Plenty of room for shopping, you might need a bigger garage though!
Presume so cheap, as it's only a 6x4?

Yes I’m a sticker owner, oddly the “bronze” is a blue sticker. 🫣
I think it will take me 8/9years to hit 300k at the rate I’m doing.

Is this real, & not AI?
The webpage I've linked to makes it appear as though it's a genuine vehicle

In a fiat you get a bronze for 30, sliver for 50, gold for 100.

Meanwhile in a Renault you get dinner with President Macron for 100k!
