Wife and I went out for dinner tonight and a black Volvo V90 pulled in and parked beside us as we were leaving.  Still one of the best looking cars around imo.  I watched a couple of reviews of the V90 within the last few days and just finding out that the V90 wagon has a shorter wheelbase than the S90 sedan.  There are so few around here that i've never seen the two close enough together to notice. 

V90 like the v60 is gorgeous. Engine is a major letdown IMO.
Yeah, the old I6 was much more entertaining...

Especially so in Twin Turbo form or was that the I5?

I don't remember a twin turbo? I know the 5cyl had 3 versions, there were 2 high pressure turbo (300 hp & 256hp), or the low (207hp). The high was in the V70R, S60R & V70 T5, S60 T5, while the low was designated as the 2.5T in both.

This was when I was in the UK for a design review in 2003  - On the drive back from Yeovil to the airport the hirecar was a new S80 T6 with the B6294T engine. I swear, the guy was not driving it below 100MPH all the way except to stop, through camera speed traps or when someone slowed him down.
I remember passing Stonehenge in the a blink of an eye and a Ferrari all whilst seated comfortably in the back seat.

Today on our afternoon Covid walk, we saw this mural on the side of the local ANAVET.  I drive by this place all the time but have never paid any attention to the side of the building.

That's a fantastic mural.

My first thought was Oldsmobile.

I don't really know him.   He's down the road a ways, but he's on my twitter feed.
I asked on twitter, but people don't seem to reply.

Kingston is bad for people driving vehicles into buildings, I think there were 3 occurrences this  week, not including the bus :o       :skid:

i doubt they would have felt much, buses are pretty big (mass).

it looks like someone went through a red light (could be the bus, but unlikely, they are usually pretty good drivers from what i've seen).
