Captain Slow Charging
The F creeps closer to 100 000 km, so it was time for a healthy glug of Shell Helix Ultra.
OK. That one totally annoyed me: I always had to accelerate to 60 kph to get it to finally change into 4th gear. And then I couldn't slow down below 50 kph because then it would change into 3rd gear again. That's very annoying when driving in town.
wat? who the hell drives less than 60kmh in town? Oh wait, maybe that's just Munich :lol:

There might be a few of these built for the Australian market.
If so, it will be rocking the Yamaha v8 from the xc90 and RWD.

What platform would it be based off of? I was under the impression that all Volvo's were FWD inclined (XC 90 excluded)
Hurrah for vacuums leaks and overly complicated emissions systems. I should probably replace the hoses on my Dad's MGB.
So will the camshaft feature self removing sprockets?
Thats the Ford SHO v8, Volvo's v8 is different.
Me - go faster and you'll end up standing at the next red light while the slower cars catch up to you.wat? who the hell drives less than 60kmh in town?

Besides, in traffic you mostly can't go as fast as you want... and it's annoying if your automatic stays in 3rd at about 3000 rpm (or higher, the car didn't have a rev counter) just because the ingenious engineers have forgot to program it in a decent way.
I've noticed that in Ford and GM commercials specifically, when talking about the competition they mostly name Japanese auto makers like Toyota and Honda, which is exactly how I think it should be.
I think the American companies need to take a "find a common enemy" approach and band together for a while and leave each other alone. There's no need for Chevy to announce how much better the Impala is than the Taurus and vice-versa. They're all doing fairly poorly, why not help each other out a bit.
A lot of the traffic lights in Munich are timed that you get a "Gr?ne Welle" at 60 or 80.... no clue why, but that's the way it is, and not only observed by me.
I know, Munich is nice in that respect. Well, nice if you drive a car/motorcycle.A lot of the traffic lights in Munich are timed that you get a "Gr?ne Welle" at 60 or 80
