dont worry about the volvo, mate i love the little fm9 i drive so smooth and comfy it rides better than my car and compared to the old t650 i used to drive this thing is brilliant

Your game putting a pic of the Tilt Tray up, everyone will be asking you for favours. LOL.

I just noticed the sign behind it - you had better be careful where you leave it you may get fined

PS I thought I had better get in before Mr Swishy saw it - no harm intended the opportunity was too good to miss regardless of brand

I think the Kenworth/Mack guys, with their hearing aids, back braces and ulcers, comments on Volvos are a bit like two of you on a trip checking in to a motel.

As you lay down on your comfortable bed they would say "Not for me, beds are for p...tas, real men sleep on a tarp in the carpark".

What's the difference between a hedgehog and a Volvo?
With a hedgehog the pricks are on the outside



An old guy in his Volvo is driving home from work when his wife rings him on his carphone.
"Honey", she says in a worried voice, "Be careful! There was a bit on the news just now, some lunatic is driving the wrong way down the freeway".
"It's worse than that!", he replies, "There are hundreds of them!"



Funny jokes-Volvo for Dummies
Volvo has unveiled an auto designed by dummies for dummies called the YCC, 'Your Concept Car.' Among its cutting-edge dummmi features:
-- Turn signals that are able to change their mind at the last minute.
-- An OnStar satellite tracking system that can locate, on command, all retail outlets within 500 miles
-- Permanent press fenders.
-- A dashboard voice console that's programmed to ask strangers for directions.
-- Side mirrors that make the driver appear slimmer than they actually are.

Swishy,

I have to agree with you about Volvo cars and the people who buy them (who in the world would choose a car for the sole reason they intend to crash it?). They are certainly safe, solid and reliable but totally lacking in style, class or charisma - except maybe the P1800 sports of the 60's.

The trucks on the other hand almost single handedly destroyed the British truck industry in the 60's by bringing in something that was not still living in the 30's, was a delight to drive, had a liveable cab (heat and noise)was fast, easy to service etc.

The American trucks just kept sticking more and more power in ancient basic platforms and only now are competing in the driver friendly stakes with the addition of modern technology (much of it well after the European trucks)

I think it is sad that well known companies of any make disappear or are bastardised by the company which takes them over. Isn't there a Renault finger in the Mack pie, not just Volvo?

If Mack were selling enough trucks by meeting customer's expectations and marketing properly they would still be here (and probably own Volvo)


If BMW or Honda took over Harley Davidson there would be people all over the world drowning themselves in Jim Beam or driving off the Grand Canyon regardless of the fact BMW only had to put one BMW bolt anywhere on a Harley to produce a better bike.

There are very few bad trucks or cars for that matter in this day and age - a bit like beer. The current worst, most miserable third world people carrier would shine in an unbiased test against a similar style car of any brand of the 60's.

It all boils down to Holden versus Ford or Collingwood versus Carlton. And long may they live!

Swishy,

Hi Lang, your right about the 'poodle' raping the dog, bloody shame the 'frogs' ever got their grubby fingers into that lot.
