Thanks once again guys :)

The car has 134 000 miles on the clock, should be around 215000 km, and it has its dents and dings, but no rust from what I have seen.
The engine is original and stock, only upgrade is OEM strut bar from Volvo, I got it from a friend for around 60 euro, new never mounted. It was so easy to instal, but I really can´t tell if there is any difference, but it looks nice anyhow :D

I follow the forum via pictures and Google translate. By the way, do you often have meetings? I am quite new into 850, but I have driving Volvo since I was 18, and the interest is quite big here in Sweden, but 850 is on the bottom of their worth. To new to have as a enthusiast car, and many thinks it´s to old to have as a daily. But not me, I think it´s a perfect car!

Hi Bear,

Nice car you've got there..
I've been to Norway and Sweden the last 3 weeks for holiday and I've seen a lot of "older" Volvo's.

You can see that the guys in Sweden either just use it as an (old) car with all the dents and things or are really proud on it, having it in mint condition with nice rims an a bright shine!

The nicest one I've seen was in Göteborg on our way back last friday; I saw a laserblue 854 with a complete S/V/C front on it, amazing!

Be proud and enjoy your Swedisch car! As so do we!  ;)

Thanks, my cheeks starts to blush :D

I live in Göteborg, hometown of Volvo as probably many of you know, and the 850 is built here to.

It would be lovely to join your meetings, for the moment I have a new job and a lot of education before I can take off, my holiday this summer was meant to be spend on four wheels in Europe with start in Liége to participate at IVM.
But I still hope I can join VROM here in Göteborg 22-24/8, some of you who plan to attend? http://www.vrom.org

Tjena Björn, var bor du någonstans? Känner inte igen var bilderna är tagna men jag kan gissa att det är KBA-pendeln / Kållered. Jag själv bor inte långt därifrån - Anneberg. Jag kör dock ingen 850, fast cabben ;)


<edit> eller, är det röda ormen i backgrunden?
