Yeah, ‘‘twas a White one I passed just on the North side of Naas. Was in excellent condition & tipping along at its ease at 80km/ph.
They really were way ahead of their time.
We could do with a ( provided one not already here ) They Don’t Make Them Like They Used To Thread.
Thomas Ingenlath has done a marvelous job for Volvo over last few years. Some of the best looking cars on the road now.

I saw a Fiat Mirafiori today in excellent condition. Brought a smile to my face.
I’ve seen a few instances lately of lads not being able to get a wheel of their newish car. The garage told them go home and hit it with a lump hammer. What’s the solution here?
Fellas stop tightening them so much when they change the tyre. Id to get a sledge to mine at home one day. I was seething
Hand tighten the bolts, no bother getting them off then.

Snapped a wheel brace a few weeks back trying to get one of them off. Fucking thing was welded on.
A breaker bar is your only man here.
Stopped one day to change a wheel for a lady and encountered the above problem.
I used the scissors type jack from my own car to lever off her wheel after I wedged it between the wheel and the chassis.
Took a bit of manovering and I had to be careful of breakable parts attached to the chassis but still got the job done.
I was talking about the wheel, not the nuts.
Here’s a solution, but the ones I’ve seen the jack was too flimsy and belting the wheel would knock the car off the jack, and you underneath it. You’d want a two tonne trolley jack.
Couple a belts of a sledge mate
