Volvo 343 in silver URP422W
Much more comfy than anything my mates were driving at the time!
My sis gave it to me when she moved to ireland and it was solid as a rock!
Eventually blew a valve and minced the head and a piston on the A2 - rebuilt it then lost my job and could'nt afford to re-insure it so sold it for £65.
Good car tho - rear wheel drive too  Wink

Good car!!!
I had a Volvo 360GLT on a 'A' plate and it was stuip fun (only 22 at time in '92').
Was rock solid, went like hell (got 130mph on the clock). Comy as hell as you said. Made me buy a 244GLT on a 'X'. Was even more fun!!

1966 Vauxhall Viva Deluxe 90!!  But i'm not that old, this car was 26 years old when i bought it.  It was as rotten as hell but i loved it, even down to the cute "ping" noise that the indicator made when self cancelling!!
