So the e208 was attached by a rogue motorbike who took the front off the car - leading to a £16k repair bill and the subsequent writing off of the car

This left me £1k short on the finance so got to pay that off (I know gap insurance exists but across the last 23yrs of car ownership, I'm defo up)

So I've ordered an XC40 Recharge through salary sacrifice - yes it's leasing but no deposit, insurance included, servicing included and tyres included.

It's the 408bhp version base spec (cheapest on the list of Volvos)

0-60 in 4.8seconds - fk it was fast on the test drive haha

Anyway - here's the vid of the accident (no injuries to anyone but viewer discretion adviced)
