Here I was, thinking that I will never get a convertible because where I live it'd need garage, armed guards and dogs, or be a two seater with a tintop, then this comes along...
yuck! like the old C70, whats with the massive doors! volvo's look so bulky now, HATE the new S40 with it's stupid narrow tall shape!
It'll also cost as much as a decent ALPINA and have
of picking it up from the dealer. And it'll cost a damn sight less to run.
Plus there's no folding hard top Alpina, and a B3 convertible would get destroyed by the local "how can you afford that" brigade.
That explains why it never appeared in uk.rec.cars.misc...
*snort*

Nope, not sure what you mean steve...
The last word rhymes with 'hunt'.
HTH ;-)
Apparently it was meant to go to uk.rec.cars.misc
He's a bit of a TC, then.
Nah, about to send the old white Alfa in to be welded up to use as a track day car, though.
You don't know the half of it.
It's a ukrm thang! ;=)

Pleasently tidy.
Yup, a lightly used one.
Which will get put through the front wheels of an open-top car - how much will get to the road?
Probably not, my B10 does ~20/gallon and looks to be wanting a service every ~13-14k...
Chain driven cams might even make it cheaper to run.
No fix for that, but do you want an open car @172mph?

Eh, eh, eeehhh.

Insewerance? I'm reckoning on the T5 being Gp 16, and about 500 quid/yr for me. Alpina....
5 cyl engine means three less spark plugs?No, but at 172mph I'd have the roof up. Roof down is for more relaxed cruising in short bursts on warm days...
Needs about 3 inches chopping out of the bonnet height. Bonnet should be no more than 6 inches above wheel arch or whatever they are using this month to hide it's excess height - panel fold, trim strip, two tone paint, grey wrap over bumper will soon date the car.
You looking at a different car to me?
Panel fold? you mean the Volvo characteristic Shoulder? and two tone paint???
No they're not, they're just asking you to stop shouting. :) (Hint: the little key on the left with an arrow pointing up)
And as long as the donkeys are happy, who are we to judge?

Yeah, I like it.
I really like the current S40 too - the floating-console is the greatest design feature ever.
