I THINK IVE GONE MAD!

[antz]

After driving the escort everyday for the past year and thend eciding to get it all restored i came to the conclusion it was time for a daily hack!

 

been only 18 i was limited for options and ive just put a deposit on a.....

 

 

 

 

 

VOLVO 240 gl!

 

its cheaper to insure than a micra, got enough room for all my escort bits and the dog, its a comfycruiser, RWD and good for my long motorway trips.

 

then again...

 

WHAT 18YEAR OLD BUYS A VOLVO! the escort stays though! thats my pride and joy so its never going! its got more time for modifying though

 

no pics cos its exhaust needs fixing so im not picking it up until monday

i'd have considered it at 18!

I Had a mk3 escort and a gold metro when i was 18

 

Wouldnt have been so bad if it;d still been the 80s but i;m about to turn 23

[MK5]

not a lot of street cred but should be reliable... and if its cheap to insure and run even better... at least its a car...

[antz]

some nice alloys, strip it out, throw the dog in ther back go out boy racer destroying

[Daveyboy20]

Nice one lad, 240's are brilliant! I was looking at one before i got the cortina. I think they are well cool

[antz]

its only got the 2litre engine not the 2.3 BUT its only done 104k so its barely even worn in!

 

the front seats are fooked though so im trying to track down some leather replacements and some nice alloy wheels

 

its gonna be a sleeper boy racer destroyer!

I've got a 244 turbo before, still the turbo at home, really great car...

[atomic punk]

I knew of a volvo that had done 244k miles with nothing more than services to keep it going.

 

 

 

 

 

Just don't hog the middle lane when you drive it, and fight the urge to signal left and turn right.... (Sorry, couldnt resist )

my dad had a volvo 740 and it had done over 250k and he ragged the living shit out of it! 110mph down to norwich and drove it like he stole it everywhere! sold it on and it was still going last we heard!

 

they live forever! this one ive got has onlt done 104k so its only just worn in!

[orionmojo]

i'm looking for a 240 for my next car.

[Messenjah]

[Twinkle]

[antz]

[sab6024]

My dad had a Volvo 240. He blew the box up after about 275K (he drives everywhere in 3rd.....muppet). We found him a Granada Scorpio for £50 so he's got that now. He loved his Volvo tho....

[Gonzo]

You lot going on about volvos got me actually considering them on eblag! cheap as chips the ol' 240's...

 

as mojo said, slam it, tinted windows, stripped out interior and some allys...

[antz]

it should be delivered tommorow night as long as the guy gets the exhaust put back on it!

 

 

 

VOLVO POWER!
