This 855 R was bought in Kaiserslautern, Germany. Before hand, origionally it was ordered straight out of the factory from sweden to the UK with all the bells and whistles. However, when the car arrived, the guy backed out of the deal. So, from there the car was sent to the volvo dealer in K-Town, Germany, where it was placed right in the middle of the showroom floor. My dad fell in love. My dad test drove a white 854 R to get a feel for it. We took delivery of this baby that week. My dad had it up to 140 heading towards Frankfurt on the German Autobahn. He said it was still pulling, it wanted to go faster. He let go for safty percausions. Now, 9 years later, I'm drivin her and I love it.
We refer to it as the Rocket Sled.

Nice car man, come check mine out. I'm jealous of your wagon like your jealous of my model cars.

Yeah, I experimented with tinting inside the light but the effect was weak. The solution the the flat look is to add a couple applications of clear coat. I just haven't gottne to it yet.
By the way, what is your opinion of those Falkens? I replaced my P-Zeros with them. Classic example of getting what you pay for. The sidewall is a joke. Cornering sucks.
