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" :shock: 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....
