What do you think the glove-box and the top engine mount on the 850 are made out of? Wonderful, springy, strong, powerful beans!


850 Top Engine Mount, Yesterday.

That might give it the flat front that was asked about earlier.

I'm not into flat front models - I prefer it if they stick out a bit.

Are these the original baked beans or are they the curry variety? The originals are easy to find but the curry variety do cause me some problems.

You're all missing the point. If they're not RWD and grown in Sweden, they're not proper beans, and hardly worth discussing.

That's a bit unfair. I take it these beans are from the Netherlands. They are still beans, just a bit smaller and lighter.

It is a Volvo site. The initial post in this thread was an attempt to share a view about one Volvo owner's behaviour which (in my opinion) was well beyond the pale. Instead of using the kind of expletive to describe him that would probably get me banned from this forum, I thought a bit of ridicule might be more entertaining.

I look at this forum for joke avatars and I look at joke sites for Volvo baked beans.
