Volvo C30 R-Edition

[Hiroshi Awazu]

Hehe so i've already been crunching some numbers and this is what i can get a C30 T5-R Design for. My gf got back from vacation with her dad this afternoon and i pitched this to her.

She is interested but not right away. We would trade in her 2006 Nissan Pathfinder LE (fully loaded 36784kms) and we both put $5000 down and the dealer will give $14000 trade towards C30. I let her choose the colour, I like red anyways and i pay for the monthly payments and auto insurance. My gf loves her truck but it is a pig on gas(92L tank) and really i feel we don't need such a vehicle living in the city. Well thats what i'm trying to convince her on lol! Plus our room mate,she just recently got herself a 2012 ford focus SE 5spd and my gf enjoys driving that so this will be even better

Very nice Hiroshi. I am pretty sure she will enjoy driving that one as well! It looks very nice, and I am pretty sure it drives marvelous.

Well gf says we will go test drive one after we come back her relatives after Xmas. We have to drive up through mountain areas in the snow so she wants to hang on to suv until then.Also we might be towing back her father's Sea Doo(Pathfinder has a trailer hitch).We'll do that if snow conditions aren't too bad. Two other cars she might be interested in is the BMW 135i or the 335i. Those two will be used models of course. My gf's friend has a 328 convertible and has driven it and likes it so maybe a few more cars to choose from.​

My stomach hurts when I see the prizes in Canada. Its absolutely ridiculous what we have to pay here in Europe

Taxes, taxes, taxes so our government can finance the "garlic belt" in Southern Europe

Took my car to the Nordschleife today:

 

[Hiroshi Awazu]

Hi Bram, I have no knowledge on skinning but how did you get the car to be one colour? I wouldn't mind a red one for my better half

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

David Ross made it for me Including a dutch license plate lol

So snowtires are stored and the summertires have been mounted on new light weight rims! Not really a good quality picture. Will make a better one when the sun is shining

@Hiroshi Awazu what happened to your Volvo ambitions? Did you and your partner bought one in the end?

 

[Joakim Skalstad]

I heard someone was looking for a company car?

@Hiroshi Awazu what happened to your Volvo ambitions? Did you and your partner bought one in the end?

No, I ended up with the 98 M3. Unfortunately our relationship came to a abrupt end last weekend so it is a good thing we didn't buy the Volvo together. It would of raised some complications.

You have to translate "sunshine" with care when a Dutchman is speaking... Notice that almost a month passed and the pic has not yet been made.

(Oh god, how much I hate this weather)

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Coldest April since 1495 isn't it? Will make a perfect summer

It is really a sad childhood for dutch kids when they have to call "zomer" to this!
