I could be very tempted by this if you have any space left ;)

I enjoy a good drive and can banter with the best of them so... thats it really :P


the only real question is, you being the only girl, can you put up with constand innuendo from me ?  :P

Yes, I work in an office full of men and give as good as I get :p Sexual harassment, whats that?

Sleeping arrangements could be interesting... I suggest a tent, some clean knickers, and a large pack of deodorant-wipes :D

But itd be the rest of the Pug Id be worried about.

The Volvo is alround a mighty automobile, its all solidly built not just the engines :) and there are Volvos that have done over a million miles.

I dont think thats a fair comparison.

the XUD engine, if Im right was used by 2 manufacturers while the renault engines in the Volvos were only used in Volvos as far as Im aware.

Its also a space issue, Volvos, Id imagine have more. and engine size

But Id appreciate a list of cars you think we should look out for, which car would you buy.

Ill be saving up and I think at the end of Jan going to a local Auction or 2 to find one :)

The renault engine was also used in renaults?

Engine size is irrelevant - the XUD will last longer, and be more economical.

There is more passenger space and comfort (IMO) in a xantia, 405, CX, XM (God, especially a CX), etc etc than a 240. My grandfather had a 240 back in 86

Get anything with a good diesel engine in it - you have a greater choice of fuel then
