My B14 is Kar, and the B172 is Fake Kar! (just cos people said I had to give him a name, and to be fair, I now feel much better calling him "Kar" than "car"
Then the other one came along, looking exactly the same, and it got confusing!)

My 345 was christened 'The Flying Brick' by a mate of mine on the grounds that he'd never known a small Volvo so quick.(For example A82 Fort William - Inverness 66miles of twisty road in 65minutes with 4 passengers in it!!)
The 360 was thus called 'The SuperBrick' when I got it....

Dont think mine is anywhere near that good! I know the people at the petrol station very well! Any tips on how to increase my mpg?
