New Volvo Mistake

[leeds_182]

I’m doing a bit of an @Ant1 and starting a thread before the car has arrived so hope nothing goes wrong or I’ll never live it down.

My other volvo is down due to a blow turbo and after 6 weeks I’m not any closer to getting it fixed so the solution - buy another!

This time its a saloon. It has horrible seats and a hydro handbrake. I already have a feeling this will go wrong but it makes me happy.

Its getting delivered this afternoon from Scotland but these are some pictures from the advert and what the seller sent me.

BOOOOOOOST!

Nothing says 'looked after and cared for example' like a hydro...

 

[Ant1]

I bet you enjoyed writing that

 

[BashRacing]

Those seats are wonderfully vulgar

 

[adamlstr]

Love it, I'm assuming the rear diff is weld-tastic?

 

[Jason_E]

For f**k sake.

Its brilliant!

 

[Daz...]

So bad it's good.

The seats are all kinds of nasty though

 

[Cookson]

WHAT IN ALL GODLY f**k

 

[RustyMojo]

Headlamp wiper delete is nicely executed I’m not sure how I feel about the whole car, which makes it kind of cool I guess

 

[charltjr]

That's vile.

Love it.

It’s not getting delivered today now. I’m sweating!!

Those seats are straight out of the Blue Oyster Bumming Bar for sure!

it’s utterly horriffic and I can think of a hundred cars I’d have before it. But it’s cool as f**k.

I think I’ve managed to source a set of celebration front seats for it. With my frame it’ll be like sitting on the shitter on those seats.

 

[imprezaworks]

Love it. I think?!?

 

[Donny_Dog]

There looks to have been death, within that footwell.

 

[leeds_182]

Itis.

 

[Coops Mk1]

If you were a girl I would bang so hard. So little taste, so zero f***s given it's intoxicating

 

[shiftspark]

Oh my word, are you trying to own all the volvos in the uk at some point.

 

[Mork of Ork]

That grille, those seats, that rocker cover, yikes. But it's somehow still cool.

Check out the rear axle...

 

[MarkCup]

That's hilarious. What a thing!

 

[dann2707]

The seats look like you go in to literally just die

 

[Stiamh-JM]

You might as well set up a monthly direct debit with the country of Scotland itself.
Worst car you've ever bought, also the coolest.

 

[Cookie]

Christ that is tragic.. at least it's not you that's actually put paint on it

 

[Cub.]

Heroic and tragic all at the same time.

Great work - you’ve exceeded yourself this time, love it!

 

[Short Norman]

Check out the rear axle...

that rear axle reminded me of this..

 

[Louis]

Love the welding on the seats, did @dann2707 do that for you?

 

[BIFCAIDS]

You are genuinely bat s**t... I can't say anything else.

 

[AdDaMan]

You have problems. Did the Subaru sell?

 

[leeds_182]

You have problems. Did the Subaru sell?

Taken a deposit on it and getting collected Wednesday hopefully.

 

[leeds_182]

Picture from the ‘secure’ compound in Wigan.

It’ll be getting delivered tomorrow.

 

[Hixle]

Absolute death trap

Will be fun though!

 

[massivewangers]

Wow.

 

[leeds_182]

She’s arrived!

 

[YorkshireKyle]

They look like for sale pics...

 

[adamlstr]

She’s arrived!

Absolutely splendid.

Some vids of skids now please?

 

[massivewangers]

I give it a fortnight. If that.

 

[leeds_182]

I give it a fortnight. If that.

I tend to keep my volvos. Well, longer than 2 weeks anyway.

 

[Matthew]

f**k me that’s terrible . Also, how big are the side windows?!?

 

[YorkshireKyle]

how big are the side windows?!?

You do realise you drive a "mini" which is bigger than the QE2?
