That's A Nice Looking Volvo Mate.......

[GRK35L]

So have only owned the M35 since last Friday and already had a Volvo comment. Filled up with petrol at the service station and the cashier said to me "Is that a Volvo?"

I replied "No its a Nissan Stagea"

He said "Oh it looks like a Volvo"

I said "Yeah but it defiantly doesn't drive like one"

He replied "Oh is it quicker?"

I said "yes" and left.

I picked my Stag up last saturday, and my girlfriends father, being a Stagea fan that is a little jealous of my purchase likes to throw in the occasional "oh you're going there in the volvo?" line.

otherwise I haven't had that kind of comment yet, just a few "what is that?"

[poohkies]

First time volvo comment at the servo down the gold coast, cashier said wow havn't seen one like that with a full body kit, can't be many like that, is that the one they used to race, didn't really think about it, said few around not sure about the racing part, he said "no i remember they where raced and had the kit like that" said okies no problems, anyways driving down the high way back to brisbane and I clicked he was talking about the volvo's the raced in the late 90's lol

Robbie Frankovic drove a Volvo for Mark Petch way back. Dick Johnson referred to it as a "Sweedish Block Of Flats" It actually won a few races. LOL.

*Francevic. Yeah he raced a 240T back in the mid-80s, won the first Wellington 500 race in 1985 and even took out the 1986 ATCC in it. Was probably the coolest car ever styled by the Lego company.

Nice to see the "Flats" running so well.

Pulled up in my mates driveway to go on an Adelaide hills run. It was the first time I showed him and the first time he had seen one. When I got out to greet him I was asked 'I thought you bought a nissan.. this is a volvo right?' Nice

Get out of my car at work as a guy in a truck calls out "nice volvo man" with a knowing smile. cheeky bugger.

[Blek]

Having lunch with work mates, talking about the snow. Got onto driving with chains in bad conditions, I proudly announced I don't need no chains... Was asked what kind of car I had.. eventually got to: "Oh yeah, the ones that look like volvos? Seeing a few of those on the road these days".

Not really a Volvo reference, but leaving work Thursday night and as I unlock my car to jump in, a Maori co-workers says "That your car bro? Ha! and I thought it was a hearse ay!"

Response was brief. "Yep, it's particularly good at transporting smart mouth Kiwi carcasses.".

He shut up pretty quick and speedily left the carpark in his POS Rav4.

My mate asked if I had bought a Hearse ( car that carries coffins ) when he saw the pictures on Facebook

Saw an opportunity to park next a Volvo at work and couldn't resist!!

Wait till someone calls it a Volvo again

Had the car for three days before I got a Volvo comment!

Posted a pic on Facebook and got a handful of replies including:

Thats perfect for our camping weekends.

Ewww, kill it!

You bought a Volvo?

Might be ugly, but boy does that car perform!

Anyway, hello all, Atik from Olde England here. Bought a Stagea on the weekend.

Bought something off eBay and went to pick it up, the guy looks at the car and says "is that a liberty?"

the guy was very confused when i explained exactly what it is

Not a volvo but close enough...
