Titanium Ph1 172
I've been looking for a nice comfy car for a short while, as the Clio is no longer practical. It's loud, it's noisey, it's uncomfortable.
So, I set about looking for a bit of a barge, something to waft around in, and to become the workhorse to enable me to retire the Ph1 as a track only car (and maybe a few summer time blasts).
After searching the usual suspects, AT and PH etc for the best part of a month, and after viewing a B6 Passat in 1.9 PD TDi guise and a 2.0D S40 Sport, I came across this:
And as of Saturday I became a Volvo owner, or an old man as some people call them.
It's a 2004 2.0D Volvo V50 SE in Blackcurrent Pearl.
Specs?
2.0D Euro 3 engine - no DPF
136BHP 320Nm
Grey/Cream leather, heated seats, dual zone climate control, cruise control, Premium Sound Audio System, rear park assist, auto dim rear view mirror and wing mirrors, electric folding wing mirrors.
Only have pictures from the advert at the moment, but here they are!
My plans for the Swedebus are to give it a good detail, and get the swirls out of the paintwork, I love the colour and I think it's gunna look even better when it's polished and waxed.
Going to replace all the fluids and filters in a few months time.
Other than that, the car is going to remain pretty much standard, although I'd love to either fit the R Design skirts, splitters and spoiler or fit the face lifted bumpers (2008 >).
Hopefully this wagon will get me around in comfort, and more importantly, it'll take the strain of the Clio... so I can thrash it on track instead!
