Hi Al<br>
<br>
No not my garage i'm afraid ...If it was I would be renting out storage space for Dollies! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> . <br>
Yes it was a Volvo V90, 98 R and only 68k - gutted! Fortunately James was't hurtand there was no passengers. <br>
He lost the backend in the wet at the NEC roundabout. <br>
I have to say, Yoof + 3.0 litres = bad idea. He was only using while the Mini was in for MOT. (Thank God he wasn't in that!) Just think, he wanted a Dolly... The Volvo stuck like glue at the back compared to a Dolly!!<br>
<br>
Cheers

Pleased no one was hurt but pride. No doubt he'll lift off sooner on the next wet one...<br>
<br>
You mean he no longer wants a Dolomite???

Thats got to of been a scary crash! Glad no ones hurt. <br>
<br>
<br>
Thing is with a Dolly it would of spun at half the speed that Volvo let go so chances are he would of spun out many a time before in safety. <br>

I had a 1984 Chevey C10 pick up truck in the States. 5 litre V8! It was in very nice condition. <br>
<br>
Very fast, but completly rubbish in the snow being rear wheel drive only. Maine winters in New England are really snowy!<br>
<br>
Despite my suspected head gasket leak, my Dolomite is poised to take my favorite car position.<br>

* A very long time ago : Porsche 944, one of the most underrated sportscars of the eighties.<br>
<br>
* Daf 33 : superb build quality and much better than you expect<br>

944

like the 928 vastly underrated a real good piece of german engineering quite a good buy for people as they get older peeps get a bit afraid to buy one<br>
as for my favourite i havent bought it yet <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START >D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/grin.gif ALT=" >D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
but the alfasud tii (rusty sold it at 20.000 mls) must rank as a good one due to it's superb handling
