I was passing by Segna Volvo a couple times this morning going to Dublin and back. There's a little coupe sitting there that caught my eye both times. Check it out if you are going past. It's dark blue with stripes on the hood I think. Of course you all probably know exactly what it is... but I was intrigued.

 

Carol we need pictures, that is the other side of town and the intrigue is killing me.

 

I think it was a C30 from what I see online. I'll go by tomorrow with camera on board. Check the site -- very MINIesque:

I haven't seen a C30 in the flesh yet. Or with my clothes on.

Looks like a cute little car. Although the only Volvo I could see me in would be a 544.

 

Here are photos of that little Volvo. On the blue one -- Swedish flag on the roof. Comes in 6 speed. I saw tags of $26k. Interesting interior trim.

When did MAG by Segna Volvo?

 

Recently I guess. They had banners covering the Segna signs.

 

I think it was in the last week or so that MAG swallowed Segna.

Cute car, but from the front it is a bland old S 40 looking car. I do like the inside though.

 

I wonder when they'll move it to their "European Auto Campus" said in an european female voice ? Between them, Ricart and Germain we will only have three dealerships to negotiate with in Columbus very soon

 

Yes I would be surprised if they stayed where they are. With the coming widening of 161 they will lose most of the front lot. I see it being rolled into the conglomeration of showrooms in Dublin.

 

Cumfy seats, but nothing will fit though the hatch in the back ant you would need to be Shaq to lift anything in anyway. How the ergonomic kings od Ikea let this out of Sweden is beyond me.

 

I wonder how good it will do lapping at Nelson. If you can fit some tires & a cooler in the back it just might be old fart usable. This old fart however won't be buying one. I love my MINI just too darned much.

I am glad to see other interesting cars come to market. Life is too short for boring cars.

 

MINI's new tag line!!!

 

I'm too old and too short for boring cars Back OT...I'm still out here at Tim Hortons waiting on the Welshman to show up and camp out over night.

 

Just got done putting together one of Lil' B.A.D.'s train tracks around the christmas tree and wifey is finishing up with wrapping his other gifts. Time for a beer

 

Does that train layout include sound effects?

 

It does after he drinks a few beers

 

WHAT? Google huh? Get back to work.

 

The boss has spoken.

PS: Welcome to NAM Andrea.

 

Project car #3 is there a Traveler in your future?

 

snow snow snow here in Colorado (Littleton). I went to work early & it's beautiful outside!!! I wanted to avoid all the crazy people out trying to drive to work in rush hour. I have a 14 hr day since I came in early.

 

Well, I was so wishing, but the two seatbelts in the back made it a NO. We will have to stick to the MINIvan until we can fit all five of us in a MINI.

 

The euro version has three belts in the back. I think the kids would be squashed so close they would not be able to get into any trouble, europen people are much smaller than Americans I think they only grow to three or four feet tall.

Of course they also get the desiel and start stop technology pushing the desiel to around 70 mpg. Nope not bitter, not bitter at all

 

Allen, is that desiel? pronounced like denial? And I must be peaneuro because I'm 4 feet wide not 4 feet tall

 

So if my legs are almost 4 feet long and I'm part european what would that be called?
