The NEW LOLVO Barge

[leeds_182]

Here she is, the new LOLVO.

To take the pressure of buying a more expensive car I have bought myself a new 940.

It’s a 1995 2.3 Turbo manual with a few mods;
19T turbo
bigger injectors
3 inch exhaust
960 maf

It’s on Volans which I’ll be sellling for something a little more ‘scene’.

The body is a little rough, I’m not even sure it will pass the 10ft test but passes the 20ft test!

No real plans, just gonna daily it until I find something else.

Does the plate come with it?

Surely that’s a plate for the next 50 cars / 1 year for you? Great buy!

 

[DaveDreads]

I'd love an old Volvo like that, but the bloody things are too long for my driveway.

 

[Inequality Street]

How much does something like that cost? I bet it’s either 50p or 10k lol

 

[leeds2592]

Love the plate and badge 😂

Yeah, came with the plate. I paid 2k for this with two sets of wheels and the plate although I think the plates only worth £300. Volans are probably worth £300. Once I’d added it up in my mind it made sense - kind of.

There’s cheaper ones out there but this one has the mods already there to make it fun.

Leather as well. We’re not playing games.

Have you got some weird fettish for buying old volvos, that look that same as the one you had before, ploughing money in, selling at a loss and buying another that looks the same as the one before, ploughing money in..... it’s like Groundhog Day.

 

[DaveDreads]

Plenty on here do the same with Clio's.

 

[Coby.]

I'd put money on that Jim has lost a lot less than most on here with his cars for the past few years.

 

[Louis]

Looks great to me!

Yeah but Clios are good 😂

 

[DaveDreads]

That's just mean. lol

I won’t lose £399 a month mate like you 😉

 

[leeds_182]

Gave it a wash. It’s still rough but at least the tyres look black...

 

[Cookson]

I've started looking at Volvo estates. The V50 though. I couldn't have something that big and ugly on the driveway unless it was an 850 T5

You going to be removing the yellow from the headlights? Looks great with that plate.

Is that a prancing Elk?

Yeah, I think so.

 

[leeds_182]

It’s a prancing moose!

 

[MarkCup]

That'll do! 😁👍

Fine photography there, a big shed in front of some big sheds, what’s not to like.

That steering wheel might be a touch too far even for me. Enjoy it

 

[Krarl]

You had us all worried when you started talking about BMW's mate

Glad to see you came to your senses 😂

I just s**t my pants having that much cash in one car. I much prefer to split the risk and the repairs. Still looking to get something nice but having this just takes the pressure off.

 

[leeds_182]

So, thinking about selling the Volans and going for something a little stancier.

The gold ones are on offer but still think I’d preferred the silver or anthracite.

[massiveCoRbyn]

If it's only a temp car, I'd just stick with the Volans. I think they look ok on it.

 

[Panda.]

There's one of these on insta i see a bit with those wheels in gold and i far prefer the volans on it (it's dark blue though so the silver/grey might suit this better?)

Also a massive fan of that numberplate..... I can't find much of interest that will go on mine being an M reg.


Edit: actually they’re all little different but they might look better in silver?

 

[leeds_182]

Think I’ll keep the volans.

 

[Christopher]

That's f*cking awesome, I'd drive that.

 

[Brookie.]

I f**king love you .

Class mate.

 

[leeds_182]

Oil change day today. No major surprises.

Not sure what’s going on with the horns...

 

[Matthew]

Looks like a trumpet 😂

 

[imprezaworks]

Looking spot on mate

 

[leeds_182]

No more cat.

Headlights need a bit of restoration!

 

[DaveL485]

I don't know why but I very much want that plate on my XC90
