Ive not been on here for a while because ive just done 27 night shifts.
Next Tuesday or Wednesday im getting a 08 plate Volvo V70 D5 auto SE LUX, im still keeping the Berlingo and using it as a taxi.
To accommodate the Volvo ive had to extend my drive way and take down a Confiner thats approx 30-40ft. I need to order around 1ton of red chips.
When ive got the car ill upload some pics!

When I was researching insurance groups to determine which first car my lad (I) could afford, I was amazed that big volvos appeared in almost every slot from Group 1 upwards.
Like most motorcyclists of a certain age, I have an alternative view of volvo drivers,but well done anyway!

I am shocked that no-one has mentioned that the most careful, considerate drivers are taxi / private hire drivers.
