Re: Re: Does anybody else feel this way about Volvos?
Volvo's are deeply boring, similarly, Saab's are driven by mysterious people. Honda's are driven by old men (apart from the Type-R and NS2000) Mondeos and Vectra's are fleet cars (Vectra = worst design of the decade) and we all know who drives Clio's and Nova's. Sorry, but it's true! Although I would quite like a 172 Cup, if the truth be known.
Anyone got any other suggestions as to their pet hates/dislikes?
My particular dislike of the motoring world is the Focus saloon, especially when it's that vile gold/beige colour. That's closely followed by Peugeot's fetching red/black/white seat cover design.

My bro got t-boned by a volvo 840 estate
My bro was almost killed by a volvo at 35 mph - if it was any other car he would been fine - bent his m-bike in 2 and broke/shattered/fractured/cracked i think 16 bones in 1 hell of an accident!
Ill list what i know:
Tibula - snapped
Fibula - snapped
Ankle - shattered
Elbow - shattered
Toes * 3 - hospital missed em till a massage snapped em in 3!
Wrist - fractured
Sternum - cracked
Ribs * 2 - cracked
Colar bone - Snapped
Fingers - i think 1 but not sure
And a few more
He was on crutches 4 6 months and in a chair 4 6 b4 that - couldnt run 4 3 yrs and still isnt beta (its been 6 yrs) he has arthuritus in his ankle knee and others - he still doesnt excersize as it provokes swelling and pain - and the winter makes it stiffen up to riggid sometimes - he got 32 grand 4 it but lost a job as a jearnalist and now works telesales. The bloke who hit him was on last warning for work and had 10 mins to do 30 miles in rush hour - he was late but told boss he had an accidnet so got off - no charges 4 doin 45 ish b4 he braked in a 30 limmit and the car was company insurance - not that it was damamged of course being a volvo!
My mates mum had an old 340i - she wrote of a transit and only broke her headlight - lol
So now i think volvos are unsafe tanks - or atleast for other road users - they are superb 4 the driver and passengers - New 1's aint so bad!

VOLVO'S
I don't hate Volvo's just the twats that drive them at twenty five miles an hour with that smug grin on their faces, with that silly attitude my car's safe, ****.
I'll tell you what though I find Skoda's the new effin Volvo, they're even worse, they drive (if that's what you can call it) at twnety five miles an hour in a sixty zone regardless of conditions then speed up to forty when the limit goes down to thirty, STUPID TWATS.
Oh by the way, got done speeding again, now got six points, only got a 1.2 80sx, the skoda is coming next week!!!!!!!
Rant over!!!!!!!!

That's what made me write the song in the first place...
Kinda looks like I struck a chord in here

PS Sorry to hear about the points.. but if you're in a 1.2, I guess it's lucky it's not an HGT
