The new daily driver: 2000 Volvo V40T4

Hi Guys,

I put my new daily driver on the road this week, with the help of Tim at Ike's Motors, in Phillip, ACT.

I bought it a few weeks from a fellow OzVolvo guy, and it has 248 000 km on it, coil overs, front and rear strut braces, manual gearbox.

The Jaffa is in the middle of head gasket replacement, among several other things, and will become the weekender. As much as I like cruising around in it, and get lots of attention and enjoyment, I would really like to not have it in everyday traffic.

Great choice Paul. We have a standard V40 that now sees duty as my son's learner car and will be his probationary ride as well. They are just such a useful package without being bulky and are super easy to handle in tight spaces. In T4 guise, watch your licence! Ours is that car in the family that everyone borrows and has a soft spot for. In fact we like ours so much I have just put down a deposit on a V50 D5 to replace my Focus.

Nice , not sure about the red trim on the wheels though

@Chris, I've already found out how easy it is to really crank it up, especially once you're already free-running and drop it back a cog or two :)

@morgan, the red trim is going to be removed when I get some time to attack it with a hairdryer.

Forgot to add: 1.9 litre Jurbo, FK coilovers, Ultimate Racing strut bars front and back.
