Retirement has come.....and so has a volvo with it.

Post by DrewR3 »

As i wind down from my Chairman role into the sunny realms of retirement. I thought something is missing. And no retirement is complete without a compulsory Volvo purchase. The merc has spent 7 years and 115k miles taking me around the country when not in the 8. Time she retired in peace also, and alas the new daily has arrived:

2020 Volvo S60 Rdesign plus in grey.
30k miles
2.0T5 petrol with 250bhp and 380Nm (Stage 1- 280bhp and 420Nm)
8 speed auto

Usual spec:
R design Nappa leather interior
Virtual cockpit
Head up display
9 inch vertical display with usual media these days
Dual zone climate
Memory electric front heated seats
Auto everything and LEDs
Assisted cruise control.

A smooth, comfortable and quiet cruiser. However, planned mods:

Stage 1 map
D088 intake
20inch Polestar Enginered wheels
Polestar Engineered BBK
Yellow Polsestar seat belts
Maxton splitter and skirt extensions
Valved exhaust

Pictures to follow when Storm Amy buggers off and 90mph winds are not battering the side of my hill....

Finally got some pictures, would of preferred to have polished and done wheels/tyres before pictures. But you get the idea. Very happy with it.
