11 Things us Volvo drivers do…….But would never admit to!!!!!!!
1. When starting a 2/7/9 series it is not unknown to give the car some throttle to emphasise the whoosh from the cooling fan, making the car sound powerful to passers by.
2. 2/7/9/8 series owners looking down their noses at 3/4 series owners at traffic lights.
3. Intentionally parking your rust-free 14 year old 7/9 series next to a wrecked old 14 year old Vauxhall/Ford in a supermarket car park.
Gracing the unfortunate owner with a cheeky smile is not unheard of either!
4. Racing SAAB owners off the lights.
5. Listening to ABBA/Ace Of Base etc. whilst driving to get that truly authentic Swedish experience.
6. Getting great pleasure in telling everyone how many miles your car has covered trouble-free – Especially when asked your mileage by a fast fit centre.
7. You cant drive a 2/7/9/8 series estate unless you have a full load sagging the rear end and hogging the middle lane of the M6 at 85 mph.
8. Insist on showing off the heated seats to new passengers and telling them how they come as standard with ALL Volvo’s.
9. Lying about how good the fuel economy is for such a big car.
10. Intentionally twitching the rear end on corners – (Especially turbo’s) claiming to your passengers that the road must be greasy.
11. Showing off your plastic clip on the windscreen for parking meter tickets.

You're just jealous cause a VW can't go as far as a Volvo. ;)
I paid £80 for it when i was 17, it cost £500 to get through the MOT, then i had fun. By the time i sold it, i had dented every panel, and actually bent the rear axle. It had twin webber carbs on which were awesome.
sold it for £130. That car cost me £1300 to insure!!
Then i had the Ford Phase and bought an XR3
