Mercedes Groups

She. Sits. So. Nicely.

Anything not RWD is crap in Volvo land too!

I see no issue with this, my want of an 850 R is a sickness.

I have been in various one make forum groups on t'net and Facebook over the years but I have never come across so many people who post pictures with caption such as "My Baby" or "Love of my life"

Not as many "Ah, your one is shit, you want this older one" that you do in Saab and Volvo though!

Some of the Saab and Volvo groups, every time I've looked it felt like you have to own one of a very small set of specific model/engine/gearbox combos made within a specific 6 month window, only serviced by specific specialist garages( even if you live 500 miles away) on a full moon, to be accepted as part of the group.

I've never had any issues on UKSaabs or Volvoforums UK?

Everyone seems pretty helpful to each other tbh!

Yeah, UKSaabs particularly are very good. Volvoforums UK is helpful but chock full of entitled gammons. Probably reflecting the ownership demographic....

I was more meaning the Facebook groups although Pumapeople (a long time ago) and UKSaabs were notable exceptions to the norm.

To be honest, I was dreading encountering the stereotypical braying twats that you'd think populate the Porsche community. But the Rennlist 928 Forums are just amazing. There is literally an answer there for any 928 issue and the people there are very polite and helpful. The 928 specific Facebook groups are great too. You do seem to get the odd cretin in the general Porsche groups - one tool described his £4K 2.5 Boxster as his "German supercar" But for the most part it's nowhere near as horrific as you'd expect.

I rather like it to be honest

I quite like the Maybach style paint job.

Headlights and wheels... nah

[Rich B]

Everything about that is awful.

Buy the one that Peter Bjorck is selling! He does some cool utoob vid's, well worth watching:

Lovely that. Wheels were always awesome.

Edit. His Gallardo shifts

[mr_jon]

Yeah, humble guy with god-level skillz...maybe not on the driving side, as he would be the first to admit.

Spoiler, he spends less than two minutes actually driving it without a soundtrack killing any other audio, and the extent of driving impressions that I saw before I gave up were 'it's good'.

He doesn’t deserve a Volvo

[Beany]

It does sit nicely though.
