Great choice Ronnie, I've been looking at l300's for 12ish months now, but really can't justify one. I love the idea of turning it into a camper!

Get some more pics up dude ;)

I've only just got it home - will post some pics up once I have a few things sorted. Will be sticking with the 2.8TD - it's the right engine for the car, although I might think about chipping it.

Don't buy an L300 - if you like having legs that is:

I've decided to keep the 360 - although I'll SORN it while I'm making it good. The Deli is the family car, the '60 will be MY car, at least until I find a good enough excuse to get a Porsche 928...

@ SteveP - very nice, in fact, nicer than I expected :D - hardtop looks good, makes it all a bit less hairdresser too. :wink:

Christ... Ok, I might reconsider... I just preferred the looks! It's not like it's going to be an option for me for a long time anyway.

Bought this awhile ago.

1999 Volvo S80 T6

It is nice to have something relaxing to drive. That HJ61 isn't really the most comfortable car to drive on daily basis. It has his own mind of the direction where to go i have to steer it whole time and thats due those big tires which are 33/12,5-15. The noise it makes wind, tires, transmission and engine. All i can say it noisy.

Was this meant for me?
1999 Volvo S80 T6 Quiet long distance cruiser.
