Car Porn

OTOH, an XK is fabulous to drive on a long journey. It's a GT car and designed for the purpose.



^Some rotten Photoshopping in that image, btw. Look at the reflections on the bonnet, or what's visible in the rear window. What were they thinking?

[bodie]

Yes.  See what you mean about Photoshopping 

There are a few nice motors built for comfort on a long journey.  A while ago the urchin's Dad presented me with a Volvo S60.  Never really fancied a Volvo before but have to say what a nice car it was to drive.  The urchin was a toddler at the time and have to say it felt very 'safe'.

Looking wise - very nondescript really but OMG that car could 'go' when you put your foot down.


I liked that car, very much.

I saw one of these broken down on the side of the highway once

Yes, they're nice to drive. Boring interior, though. I don't care much for Volvo's dashboard and centre console.

Which engine was it?

Not that I wish to complain but I have difficulty associating the Volvo brand with "car porn". Here's something to bring the thread back on topic:



It's a 599. I'd love to test one.

2.4 T5.  I didn't choose the car,  it was chosen for me to keep the urchin 'safe' by his Daddy.  The circumstances of how we met are relevant here in understanding this decision.  I was driving a Toyota MR2 and I needed brakes...badly.  He was concerned at my cornering speeds and decided to fix my brakes for free

I was not enthusiastic about the volvo at first,  but I genuinely had fun in it.  (Just want to stress that I never drive fast when the urchin is with me)  the main fun to be had was pulling upto boy racers at traffic lights, they would look over and see a woman in a nondescript car and revvvv up thinking they would look so cool at being first across the lights -  and then  I would just leave them for dust.  That was fun.  It also had heated leather seats which felt nice on bare buttocks.   

I agree that Volvo is not a sexy car.  It is not the first thing I think of when I think of car porn,  but I suspect you have been spoilt in whatever porn you watch.  You must watch sexy, high class porn!  I watch down market porn. 

Redeeming myself,  I am posting another DB9 and the new 'F' Type Jag

Isn't the T5's engine a 2.5?

Volvo's never going to be high class porn, though. The S60 is not ugly by any means but it is utterly boring.

Here's some toy car porn.

Doh! I am such a dickhead!  I asked my man about the engine in the Volvo   Doh!


It was a 2.4 D5 turbo diesel engine.   because it was,  erm  Diesel NOT Petrol.

I like the D5 engine, though. Lots of torque.

We likes its!

I think that is a GT-40, right?

...  a rather old car?  Still very cool, though.

I think it's the remake of the GT40. It's an extremely cool car but it will always remind me of a toy.
