Im with you on the joining a new forum thing. Lets just say the megane forum is not really a community of enthusiasts it more Q and A. This is a great place to hang

Cheers chaps!
It was a quick decision but the price and mileage made me act quickly
I'm still in the 406 every day and I'm glad I kept it on as it's nice and familier to handle in this ice and (more) snow
I won't go anywhere anyway and if we meet up this year I can have a race with Puggy
I'll get some more willy-waving pics after the weekend cos it was stuck in the garage that time

Welton is officialy an old man.
We should all put a collection together to buy him a flat cap and tweed coat to go with his new steed

I was a bit bothered about the Volvo image but was hoping that with the arrival of the (seemingly cool) C30 then I would save some face here
Plus having 2 exhausts poking out the back must count for some street cred
The other thing I thought was that I'd be able to punt about at some pace without anyone really noticing me

Volvo image?
I think peugeot has a worse image than volvo (with the help of TG) and that doesn't seem to bother anyone on here anyway

anything with the focus st engine is gonna be kinda cool
and tbh i like alot of what volvo have been doing since the 850 ............. well except those bastard versions with ecilop and strange roof bars on them that seem to sit behind me all the time on the m53

The Mitsubishi engined ones with the throttle body and inlet manifold problems were a nightmare.
I love that ST engine
