Well, it's done. After many weekends deliberating over whether to buy a second car, I've finally taken the plunge and purchased a long time dream of a car (note I didn't buy this car with economy in mind 
) - Volvo v70 2,5 litre 20v Turbo. Even saying it gets me excited. It's a 1997 model with a cool 160,000 miles. I paid £1900 (2,752.18 EUR) with a new cam belt fitted which after much research is a good price. The mileage does not bother me as I have read of v70s doing more than 700,000 miles. I pick it up next saturday and I cannot wait.
I predict that this car will feature heavily in my future posts.

We looked at something similar but I got an Audi instead… look like nice cars though.. all you need is a family to go in the back.. ahem no sorry I meant a couple of dogs!
I do recall your Audi Volvo post and I do like Audis but I have always liked the v70 and it is really fucking quick. I mean really quick
Yes, family will have to wait and I am starting to enjoy the dog’s company. Also I can stick the mother in law in the back, the car is so long, I won’t hear a word she’s saying
Bought a V70 T5 in August – very very cheap, excellent condition with the SE package and leather seats. Fuel consumption is around 24 mpg but what the Hell.. it’s FAST! 240 bhp, goes like the clappers and holds half the contents of the house. Now.. if only I can get the airbag service light to go out….
Great car – health to drive!
