Real Saddo stuff, look at the opening credits for Quadrophenia.

There is an oxide red volvo 245 in the movie "The Cabin in the Woods" from 2011. Check out minutes 06:00-07:02. Dent free, nice original condition.

Happy to be part of one of my favourite threads on the forum!
This is the one that was on the BBC News website for a bit as part of a feature. Do you remember I called you to try and buy it but you had just sold it to them? They never did call me, so I guess they held onto it!

Cool

Not sure if this will work or is appropriate. Little bit of PG needed near the end but the whole thing beautifully done. Music is good too IMO.

I hope they didn't actually crash them at the crossroads right at the end of the film!
