I went to get a takeaway, parked my car in the little carpark nearby. Came back to find a family loading their hoiday stuff into a passat estate parked next to the Volvo. There was a little boy about 3 or 4 years old, leaning out of the window of the passat looking at my car (maybe the fisrt 240 he has seen)
He kept saying to his Dad,
"Daddy, look Daddy. A supercar! A BIG supercar!"
Made me smile.

I love the way kids gawp at the Volvo, when you think of the bland magnum icereams on wheels that mostly inhabit the roads, the 240 must be very alien looking to a lot of youngsters.

I once had the same thing happen to me. I was at some traffic lights in my triumph 2500 with the window down and a 10ish year old kid said to his dad "dad what's that car? that's the coolest car ive ever seen" made me smile all day that did! now all I get is what's happened to your bonnet? (big crack in the paintwork!)

never argue with an idiot... they'll drag you down to their level then beat you through experience.

Did you then ask you how easy they are to turbo? Or where he can get decent rims in 5x108mm? Or who makes a suspension kit?
The kid is quite clearly a prodigal in the making...
