Cheers chaps!

It was a quick decision but the price and mileage made me act quickly :wink:

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 :o

I won't go anywhere anyway and if we meet up this year I can have a race with Puggy :P

I'll get some more willy-waving pics after the weekend cos it was stuck in the garage that time :)

Oh another 406 defector! Nice pickup though! What does it drive like, thought about one but a Lexarse IS200 Manual is tempting - 6cyl and LSD FTW!

On that note, I'm thinking of retiring the 406 to "second car" duties - MX5 with coilovers and cage here I come! :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy:

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 :P

The other thing I thought was that I'd be able to punt about at some pace without anyone really noticing me :supafrisk: 8)

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

The Mitsubishi engined ones with the throttle body and inlet manifold problems were a nightmare.

I love that ST engine :D
