Barnsley Road Wakefield - security issues?
« on: 17 July 2019, 19:09:10 »
I have decided to trade in Phaeton for a Volvo v90. Only issue is collecting it from Wakefield this weekend and whether it is safe to venture into this area?

Any precautions needed - whippet attacks etc?

You need to, get some jabs in case your going into town at night, there's some rit moose's on the lose. Alternatively just give stemo a £5 and he'll escort you round.

You are wise to be concerned but the scouse reprobate is currently inflicting himself on the good people of exotic Barnsley. :)

It left the EU at the end of March. Expect queues at border control and no salad stuff. Everyone is poor compared to the rest of the UK but free.  Rhubarb is good in any month without an R.

The V90 looks very nice!  8) 

Shame they have put a sloping tailgate on it though.  :-\  The antique dealers won't be happy as they won't be able to get a wardrobe in like the V70!  ;D

Which engine have you gone for? Hybrid?  ???

V90 is I think a nice looking car and if it holds to the Volvo norm it will be comfy too. :y As Sir Tig points out Volvo have followed most[all?]manufacturers and gone for form over function by sloping the rear and cutting down on loadspace.
