OB11. Why Volvo stopped making estates, oddfire V6s, engine noises and poppadoms, in a Volvo V60

from Overbore · host Overbore

This week, Kitch tells Scrof all about his hot male and female tools. No, we haven't gone 18-plus -- it's all completely legit and above board. Seriously.Kitch also regales Scrof with the story of his local chippy Chinese which also sold poppadoms. He also explains why the Buick V6 in the TVR he's been working on is unbalanced, also known as an oddfire engine, and therefore sounds very good indeed.The studio this week is a Volvo estate, so naturally the boys reminisce about the time Volvo entered an 850 estate into the British Touring Car Championship, building an enormous amount of love for Volvo estates in the process. Estates are what Volvo has become known for. So you might well wonder why on earth Volvo stopped selling estates two years ago. Scrof explains -- and tells Kitch why they started again. But can he swing Kitch round to liking a Volvo estate in its modern form? You'll have to listen to find out. Obviously. We're not going to give it all away.
