We had a GL5 Passat estate with the 2.0 version of Audi’s 5pot and it was fantastic…..

Slightly off topic, as new not old but:
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/the-1-...&ei=49 I’m not a huge fan of sports cars, really, it’s not my thing but for one that looks quite nice and is made by Aston as well. I wonder what the price is. 
A lot no doubt ! KEEP CALM AND Drill ON 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪🇺🇸⛽️🛢️⚙️🧰💪 |

Where i'm working at the moment, a guy just up the road goes out nearly every day in his Triumph Herald, sounds nice with the twin exhausts but it's not a Vitesse
A few days ago i was following a MK2 Lotus Cortina  Clayton.

My Nan and Grandad had a Volvo 360.
I got to drive it for a few years after I learnt to drive. Dad had a 340. I think they came with a (Renault based if I recall?) 1.4 or 1.7 litre engine. Dad's was a 1.7. It was sluggish so who knows what a 1.4 would be like. The 360 had a 2.0 litre engine. It really was as tough as hell. It was on an F Reg and they sold it in 2002. The tape deck could play both side of the tape without removing it. I was very impressed. It was the GLE (or something like that) and had nice upholstery, electric front windows and heated seats. I don't recall it having the daylight running headlights as their previous 240 had, but it did have wash wipe on the lights! I'm sure the 300 series was more DAF than Volvo without the belt drive 
The 2.0 litre was by no means fast, but it was a much better engine than the 1.7. |

Aus edition. I think this is an EH Holden, I might be wrong. Use to see these around a heap in the 90's.

My parents had a Triumph Herald when I was about 6. I remember them having 5 children under 10 on the back seat. You had to alternate sitting forwards and backwards for everyone to fit.
No seatbelts of course as they didn't exist back then! |
