Refer to earlier post suggesting sex and travel! Can’t win, Vić, can we? I get cussed over the red car, then he rounds on you about the brown one. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt, though. Perhaps there was a queue at the post office, or he didn’t get his favourite seat at the bingo. |

Could be "Zero Green", of course.

Zero. Used to post on here. Bought a car he claimed to be brown, but it was green. Or orange. Or something. IIRC. Which I probably don't.

That grey one in Sheffield looks ok. 5 owners though. A lot in 6 years.
The private sale grey one in Glasgow looks too good to be true…

It's bronze. (Until you buy it, at which point it becomes brown.) Having looked at it - you are so right. Needs a bit more copper to be what we think of as bronze. It’s bronze. Brown is just more brown than that. 😉 |

Even with dealers it's a case of buyer beware.
Monty's next to Stoneacre and the Lexus garage have been there over quarter of a century. Monty's pretty much had a monopoly on Toyota in Sheffield when I lived there.
Edit: number of keepers bothers me less than a proper folder full of receipts showing what has really been done over a service booklet with potato stamps. My previous S60 I bought at two years old, I was the fourth keeper. That car now has over 300,000 miles and is still going.

I suppose S60s are the sort of car people might buy if they are y’know, towards the end of their allotted span…

Volvo's reportedly have a 27 year life span, if you buy one now it'll see you through to 90.

Maybe, but I’d feel older more quickly…

Every day is a school day.
I've just found out the reason Superman never had problems with his feet is because he wore Clark's shoes.
