Do you have insurance on speed dial?

 

[Tim.]

Owns his own insurance company - it’s the cheapest way to do it!

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

So you did buy another old Volvo 😂

I'd love another T-5 at some point, loved my old one.

That’s class.

Like a f**king boomerang

You have to have trade insurance... Surely!

I bet they see your number and place bets on what flavour of Volvo you're wanting to insure this time round 😂

Unfortunately not! To be honest the amount I spend in admin fees is probably more than most people pay in insurance.

It’s a little controversial but I’m blacking up today.

But it’s only my bumpers.

 

[leeds_182]

20mm spacers added to the rear.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Is it standard ride height? It looks quite low at the back.

It’s on apex springs which are a 40mm drop allegedly.

Ah ok. Sits pretty well

Yeah, I’d like to be lower at the front but it’s just a bit of a ball ache so think it’ll be staying as is.

 

[leeds_182]

Gave it a wash and wax today. Paintwork is in really good nick when you consider the age.

Still looking for a second hand stainless but they’re like rocking horse poo.

They look like sale photos

Not yet.

 

[charltjr]

But they are now

Fair play to ya sir, hope it makes you a few bob.

 

[bashracing]

Well at least they can't come and go any faster until someone invents time travel

 

[leeds_182]

Sold...again.

It looked sweet driving off.

How many cars have you had this year? 😂

 

[leeds_182]

How many cars have you had this year? 😂

Not that many to be fair.

The white t25 (which I’ve still got)
The red single cab (which I’ve still got)
The blackberry volvo 940
Volvo 740
Volvo 940 Diesel

plus about 5 motorbikes.

Is that all?

It feels like twice as many haha. Saying that the year ain't over, you've still got many more months to bump them numbers 😂

@leeds_182

Please do this to your next Volvo purchase

 

[leeds_182]

That’s a beaut.

 

[Cookson]

Slap a charger on that and if anyone asks, just say the alternator bearings have gone 😂😂
