My dads new motor at work

this is his old fh globby now hes got the fm globby bit of a downsive from the fh but oh well lol.

The old FH looks just as tidy as the new FM, seems a shame to change but still its nice to get a new motor :smiley:

never complain about aquireing a new wagon.a few years back you kept the old ones until they ran into the ground then you were given a new secondhand one :slight_smile:

yeh the fh was tidy they was on a 4 year contract on them with volvo dealer, shame theyve gone to the fms 10k cheaper they recon

They both look well kept, i could’nt bare another FM personally…too low down to the road. Is the inside of the new model any different?

The dash is baically the same with some changes to make it more driver friendly, nothing major though.

I drove 460’s and 500’s never a 480.Do the 480’s go much better than the 460’s? they where a good goer.
