Hi all,
I've been a volvo fan i suppose since my dad brought home a 144 in beige with twin strips in brown down the side (a bodyshop addition),
i was under the age of 10, me and my sister would sleep in the back when going on holiday, me layed across the rear footwells and my sister on the back seat, nice and safe thanks mum and dad.
Then followed some years later by a 240 (245) estate silver DL model i remember my dad never liked the front grill as it stuck out to much, by this time my uncle had a one too but GLT very impressive.
Moving on some years i found myself staring in ore of rickard rydell in a 850 estate in British touring cars chapionship, with that i brought the coat (still around as a cats new bed :-/ ) and the dream to own a t5 was born.
later i moved into selling cars, main dealer, and landed a job with the local Volvo dealer,so free Volvos to drive great times.
Now thats all in the past and i do something completly differant, but i own a 96 850 t5 estate met grey and i love it.
thanks
