Don't worry, Jim, I will still lurk (and comment) here on the Forum. For example, I don't intend to dispose of my Lexia setup, as I have Family who have a Peugeot, so if anybody in the Reading area has need of a Rev B Lexia I can still help out.

There are two reasons why I went for a Volvo. Several years ago I was in an earlier model Volvo when a BMW went head to head with us. I also liked the look (and spec level) of the V70 Zel has got.

That's great news you'll not be leaving us James :D

I must say Zel's Volvo is a crackingly good advertisement for them. I've ridden in his and it's a very nice place to be and looks very well put together with quality components. If I needed or could handle such a massive car I could be very tempted...

Well, I will have to try and let you have a meander around my V70. Surprisingly it has less space than the Mk1 or Facelift C5.

Pity the weather was sh1te on the way back!

Another reason was that if you'd gone any newer on the Citroen C5 side, it would have had to be an X7 with a leaky steering rack..

The best Citroen for space would have been those 2 CXs I sent you links to, or Zel's partner which I'd have already bought had I got any money at all.
