After nearly 19th months together, I’ve decided leave Volvo and move on. We had some great times together. She was a real firecracker, once her revs got high enough – she’d compete with anything else I know.
Thank you for the good times my love.
I’ve got more details over at carzone.ie
Myself, Gill, and Bobby went on a spur of the moment camping trip to the Lake district this weekend. THe start of the weekend did not go well, with the Volvo overheating 4 times to and from work on friday, eventually resulting in the boiling over of all my coolant and a trip to the local Volvo garage on a tow truck. This led to us leaving an hour and a half later than expected and in the wrong car (we had planned to go in the Volvo [one of the main reasons for getting it]). Because we were late, by the time we got to the national-trust site we wanted to stay on —– it was full, As were all the other campsites near Lake Windermere. There was one last site that we had been given directions to – If that was full we were going home. It wasn’t full so we pitched our tent and had a lantern lit bbq for dinner (at 10pm.).
The rest of the weekend went very well, with plenty of relaxing, sun bathing, swimming, eating and generally running around sniffing the bitches asses. Bobby also had fun.
I would definitely recommend the Lake District as a camping destination but booking a site would be advised.
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.
