VOLVO BEAUTYS

I seem to remember you used to grt an f16 monte carlo, does anyone know what was special about these?.

Some nice trucks there…does anybody know what happened to that Highlander F16 that Pete Osbourne ran…never seen it for ages. :frowning:

Cheers mate,no probs whatsoever now runs like a dream getting around 8mpg out of it but i do give it some,lol some of the older 520 s in the fleet are only doin 7-7.5 so i cant be drivin it that hard. It was chipped up to 710 when new but had some problems so put it back standard.

yes mate it is, but quality foods aint short of a bob or two, so it doesnt matter to them it can sit there for the rest of its days they aint bothered, but i am sure they closed there trans side down etc, so what they have in the warehouse now is anyones guess as they seemed to like there toys,

ha ha mine only does 55mph i pass stuff on hills ok and downhill if i let it over run but then on the flat everythings passing me again,Crossroads at Hull are adamant its on par with everything so wont alter the speed,some of our older ones pass me like im stood still but volvo wont av any of it,frustrating at times but i get paid by the hour eh.
