Hi there not the best way but easy is to resize your pictures before posting.
They are normally to big in file size.
Open them with paint or similare picture editing programme.
Then stretch and skew or resize.
The maximum file size is jpg=390.6KB or 1024x1600.
Regards Brian.

Default Out from hibernation....

Been playing with this 740 during the winter getting it ready for daily use.... :-)

I know this is the 200 series section but I made sure each pic had one in! ;-)

We get plenty of sun... It was somewhat pinky...but after cutting the paint back and a polish it doesn't looks too bad...Not a show winner for sure...but looks well enough for our purposes! :-)

Does go very well compared to the 240 though! :-))

Would be nice to find an eggcrate grill for it though... put it back to original...

Hi there and welcome to volvo land.
That's a very nice car you have there.I spotted it yesterday on gum tree and tried ringing the owner?Obviousely you had already bought it.BOO.
Only joking really but I so did want that car.Teach me to keep my eye on gumtree more.
I was more than willing to pay the asking price of £500.So how did you get it down to the £330?
One owner full service history and tax and mot.

Well done let me know if you decide to sell one day.
Regards Brian.
