Ok, Here I am with my candid opinion bout the Volvo. Car starts immediately, no rubbing or grinding, shift to reverse is smooth, no jump or jerky change, likewise when engaged to drive, engine sounds throaty and runs well, AC is working albeit another switch has been modified to put on the AC itself, but it sure works! And ice cold too! CD player is working and sounds good, controls working and can also be controlled from the Steering too. Ok, let's hit the road, one thing I noticed first was the firm steering wheel, solid and felt good, Not too stiff. And not to soft. Responsive too. The car rides well and change from gear to gear was seamless, acceleration was ok, its not kuku a porsch or lambougini! Did not like the interior Much cuz I felt it was too plasticated for my likin and as such some loose ends here and there, nothing a good handy man cnt put right sha. After taking the car through some hard acceleration and bumpy (o yes the shocks took stress very well.still intact) I noticed the car went off and I had to restart especially when I slowed down . That will have to be checked by a mechanic to find out why, it shudnt be too much of a fuzz I guess. I smelt some petrol in the cabin wch to me means some work had been done in the tank, either to change the fuel pump or wash the tank and trust our mechanics na, dem no dey finish work most times like oyinbo! He must not have completely coverd up the tank! So, apart from these, And d fact that I did not sweat at all, thanks to the chilly AC despite the hot sun, the ball is left to u all that might be interested in picking up the car. |
Fabs I can subsidize further only and only by fueling the car with 60Ltd for the eventual buyer of dis nice ride. The race is actually very hot rite now as all parties wanting to buy this car are basing their payments on when the impending strike action is called off. So its gona be first come and pays , first to get the ride! I AM taking the ride for a torough test spin today to personally feel and observe this car in readiness for ur purchase. Whatever I observe will be honestly stated and of cuz we can deal from then onwards, |

My broda s60!! Where did u dig those names up from? I sure do remember those names! My dad had his 504 Gl shipped in directly from France, boy was it a machine then! I still remember boasting to mai peers about the "double carburretor" ! Can I ever forget reading the owners manual over and over again and even taking it to school , if only to show off? Can I ever forget the stunts I pulled wit that ride ever? My elder bro and I used to play pranks on each other so either of us takes the car out without Mums knowledge! Let's keep the memories pouring in please for the loyal beasts of way back! |

Like emperor stated downshifting is a very good way of slowing down a manual tranny car in event of brake failure, As for me I would also gently use my hand brake to further slow down the car.(I said gently use the hand brake otherwise u mite end up in a spin!). I dnt think I would want to engage the to reverse if the car was still moving foward at a considerable pace otherwise the tranny mite give way. I would he more cautious if the car is an auto drive, if the gear was on D u can down shift to 2 and then 1 while also using ur hand brake to assist gently, Overall I just think the Major reason most mite not perform diz steps will be due to panic when such a thing as brake failure happens! Other well versed gurus can shed more light on this. |
