Great video, as always. My first motoring memory was my dad telling me his Volvo 440 had wings and could fly. At the time, I believed him. He used to fly to school to pick me up every day, but then just drive home...
First motoring memory: VW Bug, Dad driving, he was 6’1” Mom in the passenger seat, with my twin brother on her lap, 4 bigger brothers and sisters in the back seat, myself and my younger brother in the little place behind the back seat. That’s nine people BTW, before seat belt regulations! It was hilarious watching people count how many people would come out of that little car.
Mine is a black xc90 03/04 with 181 k on the clock and still doing 32mpg not bad for a 2.5 ton 4x4 A while ago I read that since xc90’s were first made no one has died in them, passenger or driver that’s why I’m glad I drive an Volvo
@@wisher21uk We got my wife a 2008 XC90 Executive V8 with 43000miles. We are the third owner and it has been extremely well kept and always serviced at the Volvo dealer. It is such a nice car! And for a V8 it gets great fuel economy!
Really appreciate that you show the car being cleaned with the seats inside. Goes to show that a stellar job can still be done even if the seats weren't taken out. You can reach with long tools and still get the dirt out! I loved this restoration. I need my head lamps looked after too.
First motoring memories: 1967-68, Tampa, Florida, sitting in the hatch of my dad's Opel Kadett B estate, riding on Kennedy Drive. Watching my parents try to bring a Morris Minor 1000 back to roadworthy condition. I was a toddler.
My first motoring memory was in 1983/4, I was about 10 yo, and my Grandad used to let me drive his shining red Fiat 850 Coupe in his driveway, and taught me how to operate the pedals and how to park. It was awesome! I was feeling adult, and most important this sparked my passion for motoring that endures even today. Gary thank you for your questions, they are a good way to bring up some good memories! Cheers! Greetings from Italy! 🇮🇹
These older volvos clean up nice. Just said goodbye to my 2008 S60 in the same color. Sold to a good friend who drove it 700 miles back to New Hampshire. 160k miles and with a similar detail, looked almost new. Love this generation of Volvos!
Earliest vivid driving memories for me were when I had to only be around 3-4 riding in my Grandma's white 1994 Ford Taurus sedan. Gray interior with manual windows.
I wondered about that, but that plastic is a bitch to polish, sometimes you just can't get the polish back off of them, so maybe he erred on the side of caution.
First motoring memory - learning clutch control back and forth in the yard in my parents' Austin A35 at age 6! I still remember the reg too: 2048 IA (N. Ireland - Co. Antrim)
My first car related memory was my grandfather loading a tree stump into the trunk back in 1960. The stump was dug out of a dry lake bed. My mom wanted it to make a planter to decorate the entry. My grandfather thought the idea was ridiculous and a heated disagreement ensued. Mom got her stump and it decorated her entryway for the next 25 years. My next car memory was laying in the rear window of my dads Simca as a 5 year old. My brother still has that car.
First car memory was going to the beach with my family and sleeping in the back of my dad's station wagon on the way home.no car seat no seat belts just tucked between all the stuff
I was 4 years old, in my mom's 1975 Volvo 245 wagon. We were going up a super steep hill in Harpursville NY in the dead of winter during a storm. Halfway up, she lost traction, and did 3 360s and landed facing down hill facing my uncle in his yellow Camaro. It was super fun for me, but my sister and mom were screaming. Needless to say, we spent the night at a friend's house in the valley.
An old WW2 airfield in Hornchurch, Essex had been converted into a set of roadways for people to learn to drive without licence. Had lights and zebra crossings etc. Lots of us learners just drove round learning to change gear, brake etc. Went there with my dad when 16rs old (1966). Sadly now a housing estate!
Earliest motoring memory: Taking the train down to Devon with my Dad, to collect a Morris Mini Traveller from an aunt. Then we drove the 180 or so miles back home. We'd not had a family car before that so I thought it was dead cool. I was seven.
It was my birthday last month and I asked family to get me some of the stuff you recommended. I got the Detailing brushes and big towels, then got the silicone spray with bday money. The brushes are really good at getting into places I haven't been able to before. I like the silicone spray personally. Leaves a nice shine and smells nice for a little while.
I used to own a 2004 XC90 here in the States and that was the only car I’ve owned that didn’t have a ton of rattles and squeaks after 100,000 miles. Great car and solidly built.
Be still my heart! You pressure washed the mats. ❤️. My first good memories of driving was teaching myself to drive an old 50’s truck with three on the column. Country living.
We used to go over a steep drop off in the road on the way to a family friends holiday house. It had a roller-coaster effect and dad used to always hit it at enough pace to cause a reaction
Need to see you more, welcome back! Great to see Moose again and as for eye candy Chris! Don't be so long away! Motoring memory, going on picnics in Hong Kong in the 70s in my mom's fiat 126 that perpetually over heated! Great memories.
Hello Pal! Apologies incase anyone has mentioned this before - but i watched an AMMO NYC video recently and he polished headlights. He said when you do that, it strips the UV protection and they will soon dull/yellow pretty quick, so you may have to apply some UV protection liquid to help give it a resistance again. Just a possible tip! aw the best!
I remember when I lived in the cold state of Minnesota in the winters I would come down the alley alongside my garage do a handbrake 180 turn into my garage . Could only do this in the winter when there were snow on the road, would require too much speed and be far too dangerous to try it in the summer though! Not my first memory of motoring but it certainly made fun coming home some days.
Brilliant video it not my first thing I remember about driving but got to say it was when I first passed my test and taken my garndad to Blackpool to see the light so many memories and my Grandad face when he saw them is thing I will never forget
Good build quality on the volvos looks great after the clean. Our white mk1 escort was my first memory in the mid 1970s , my dad drove it like a rally car
Looked great. Cool that your buddy helped you out. With a repair to the front seat upholstery and a visit from the paintless dent guy, that car would be nearly perfect and ready for another 17 years, at least appearance-wise.
First motoring memory: brother and me rattling around the back of my Nan's Datsun Cherry when we were about 4... a long time before seat belts! Ps. Love your videos- especially the Moose cameos!
First motoring memory is going to the seaside in my uncle's black 1972 MK3 Cortina L and the heat off the vinyl seats combined with the smell of the Feu Orange air freshener.
Nice transformation there, I bet the owner was well chuffed! A little knowledge and canny choice of products with a bit of elbow grease just gives a new lease of life to 'tired' motors like this, good job guys!
First vehicle memory is about 4.5 yrs old. Sleeping in the package shelf (above the rear seat under the rear window) of the 1951 Hudson Hornet 4 Dr. Sedan. We had twin rear view mirrors on the doors. My little brother slept on the rear seat while my 80 yr. old grandma was seated next to him. Mom and Dad rode up front with the West Highland terror. Narragansett Bay.
One of my first driving memories was when I was about 4 and my dad let me sit on his lap to help drive his Hillman Avenger up the drive into the garage. But I got annoyed as he was really steering the car, I just had my hands on the wheel, so yanked the wheel to the right n smashed the corner a bit 🤣. Have you ever tried using Anti Static foam cleanser spray for plastics? I got the idea from when I used to fix car stereos, we used it to clean the fronts of the radios, and also the metal chassis. I started using it on the dash and side pillars, and if I got a drink spill on seats you can sometimes get rid of it by scrubbing that into it. But having seen this G101, will try that, but wouldn’t mind a good steam cleaner too!
Another great vid Gary love the transformation of the car not bad for a quick spruce up and it was so awesome to see moose back with you he’s so cute ❤️❤️❤️ my memory would be my first car which was a gold one litre British leyland metro with brown seats it was gopping but got me around for 3 years as a nipper. Broke down once due to a rusty jubilee clip coming off and losing all the coolant from the radiator on the m40 ! I was not best pleased oh happy days seems a long long time ago now. Dunno where my youth went to ! Great to see you both back we missed you guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My driving memory would be when I was about and six and my dad took me out in his new silver MK3 XR3i I called it ( 3 ie ) pulled over and did a 0 - 70 test on straight quite road in the summer of 1991 all I can remember is the injection pressure pulsing and the throaty sound of the exhaust and saying can you feel it pushing you back into the seat over and over laughing simple times but means the world to me 😁
I'd say one of my first "motoring memories" was probably riding with my dad to the salvage yard for parts on many saturday mornings. Paul Harvey on the radio and the smell of my dad's pipe from the driver's seat. Good times.
First motoring memory was being driven home by my mother and getting rear ended by a drunk driver in a van. My parents had a Chevette with a 2.3 in it at the time. I was 4 and freaking out, while my brother who was 1 was just laughing his head off when the rear hatch glass smashed in. My brother laughing has stuck with me clearly for 30 years.
@@autoshineblackpool Yes, but a single cam 2.3 out of the vans, although my father did have a near complete twin cam in pieces for many years. Parts were scarce here in NZ (I imagine they are in the UK now too?). The single cam in it was still on 45 dellortos and had a cam and what not off memory though, had the dogleg 1:1 gearbox as well.
My first driving memory is of me sitting in the back of my dads P6 rover. No rear seat belts in those days and as I was the youngest and smallest I used to sit on top of the pulled down armrest. I shudder to think what would of happened to me if we had an accident!!. Great job as always, nice tidy Volvo that.
Nice team effort :) Car became looking good! First motoring memory, that's a tough question. My first couple of months in this planet, I've been carried around in Fiat 600 and then my parents bought 1971 Opel Kadett B, which was our car from 1975 to the end of 1983, so I do have memories about the Opel, I just don't remember anymore, which one is the first memory :D
These things have aged really well. My first motoring memory is one of the shocks going through the mount on my dad's cavalier when I was 4 or 5 and we were on holiday. Second is 'driving' my mate's step dad's V8 trials Land Rover when I was 8 and then sitting in the passenger seat when he buried it in a mudhole. No windows so I got covered in shite and I was hooked on Land Rovers after that.
Omg...I've missed you! Great work as always! My first memory is riding on my daddy's motorcycle with him when I was 4 years old. He taught me how to ride and it became a life long passion for me.
To answer your question, what you were doing is, officially, vacuuming. Hoovering is something completely different... **calls Moose over, then sprinkles a handful of treats on the floor** What Moose is now demonstrating **points to Moose as he snuffles along, snarfing down the treats** is "Hoovering!" Just thought I'd clear that up for you! 😁🤣😆
I'm not a professional but I've found the easiest way to vacuum the mats is to take them out, shake them off and use a regular household upright vacuum cleaner with beater bars. Makes quick work of the dirt.
The first time I drove was when I was 15 had to take my dad to the hospital emergency center. It was a truck with a manual transmission on the steering column and I was scared to death. Shifting gears was not my specialty and it jerked back and forth with every shift. The 20km from the house to the ER forced me to learn to drive and I didn't have my license yet. Safe to say my dad had a kidney stone which was fixed that night.
Earliest motoring memory was sitting in the passenger seat of my granddad's Austin Princess and changing gear for him, he'd do the clutch and tell me which gear!
Good to see you back! Great job as usual. Early memories, going on holidays to RoI in Dad's £50 Riley 4/68, crossing border, stopping at Irish frontier post and front wing fell off! Customs officer said pull into car park and I'll get my tools, half an hour and a wire coat hanger later we were on our way 😂
My first motoring memory is of my mom telling me not to mess with the hood latches of her Jeep Wrangler when I was 3 years old. Next one is of playing with the Jeeps air filter and getting poked by the filters metal reinforcement mesh.
I liked this video a little more than your usual videos. way more entertaining with dog content and your mate and the little break with your lunch :D I liked it. Makes you seem more human than washing machine ;-)
My 1st car was a 1965 navy blue Triumph Herald 1200 saloon. Paid £249 from a dealer who only had room for one car in his tiny showroom (just slid back the sliding glass door to get the car out!). Super reliable, turned on a sixpence , loved that car, not sure why I sold it! Can you do a video explaining which type of polishing pad to use for which purpose. I,m not getting the best results trying to remove scratches on my windscreen, plus some swirl marks show up on the bonnet on sunny days. Have used Auto Glym resin polish and seal with Auto Glym deep black sealer after.Thanks mate missed your videos recently.
My uncle let me drive his big truck. I couldn't reach the pedals ( I was probably 10 or so) so he used his one hand to engage the clutch and the other to shift the gears while I steered. I nearly ran us off the road. Fun times.
I am so surprised in how good condition the leather seats are in because I work on the older p2 platform Volvo’s and most of them that I get have awful cracked seats but these Volvo’s are amazing. Every single one.
@@AndreiAndrei-rt4po I just love all the Volvo's but not really a big fan of the big v8s in the xc90 but my favorite year is the 2007 v70, she is a beauty. That amazing 5 cylinder engine.
As long as the leather is cleaned and conditioned as it should.. there is no problems with it. Not only with volvo but with every other make (leather shoes included)
Nice to see you back pal missed my fix of cleaning cars gave up car airfreshners wooden clothes peg dipped in lemon essential oil the way to go longer lasting thru the air con cost buttons passing ma test and getting mk2 golf gti for 1st car
Great video, as always.

Grew up on a farm. Had this 3 wheeled thing called a Dilly. Remember sitting on my grandads lap steering it . Happy days... great to have you back.
My first motoring memory is riding around in my car seat in my moms Chevy Citation. Two-toned blue, little hatchback.
So glad you're back!! Missed that accent 😉❤️
The OCD in me can’t get over not touching the door handles 😅
I wondered about that, but that plastic is a bitch to polish, sometimes

My first car was a 1959 Austin Healey Sprite that had no first gear. I paid $450 for it. It was 1966. I loved that little car.
Good build quality on the volvos looks great after the clean. Our white mk1 escort was my first memory in the mid 1970s , my dad drove it like a rally car
What a great lad, pops in with your lunch then cracks on and helps you square the car away.
He's a good mate for sure
Another work of sheer detailing genius. Your videos are a tonic! 👍🏻
Looked great. Cool that your buddy helped you out. With a repair to the front seat upholstery and a visit from the paintless dent guy, that car would be nearly perfect and ready for another 17 years, at least appearance-wise.
Brilliant job, who needs pimp my ride when you're about 👍
Two fire breathing car valeters and wee Moose dog! Brilliant video 🙂🚗

My first motoring memory is of my mom telling me not to mess with the hood latches of her Jeep Wrangler when I was 3 years old. Next one is of playing with the Jeeps air filter and getting poked by the filters metal reinforcement mesh.
Great job on a great car 👍🏼😎🇸🇪 it was so satisfying watching that dirt being blasted from the mats
Moose needs his own channel!
Thanks :)
I liked this video a little more than your usual videos. way more entertaining with dog content and your mate and the little break with your lunch :D I liked it. Makes you seem more human than washing machine ;-)
My 1st car was a 1965 navy blue Triumph Herald 1200 saloon. Paid £249 from a dealer who only had room for one car in his tiny showroom (just slid back the sliding glass door to get the car out!). Super reliable, turned on a sixpence , loved that car, not sure why I sold it! Can you do a video explaining which type of polishing pad to use for which purpose. I,m not getting the best results trying to remove scratches on my windscreen, plus some swirl marks show up on the bonnet on sunny days. Have used Auto Glym resin polish and seal with Auto Glym deep black sealer after.Thanks mate missed your videos recently.
Glad to see you back..absolutely love your videos..keep up the good work..😁😁😁
First car memory being travel sick in the back of an Armstrong Siddley Star Sapphire, on the way to Melton Mowbray cattle auctions, back in the 60s
My uncle let me drive his big truck. I couldn't reach the pedals ( I was probably 10 or so) so he used his one hand to engage the clutch and the other to shift the gears while I steered. I nearly ran us off the road. Fun times.
Good to see you and Moose back xx
Thank you Gary, great job as always, thank you for sharing. It almost puts me in the mood to buy a decent XC90. Great cars.
Yes, you‘re back!!
1985, my dad took me to a dirt road and taught me how to drive a stick shift Honda Civic. I was 7. I have since been a car fanatic.
Best suv in its class, hands down. Played the Germans at their own game and won 😀👍🇸🇪
See when you're cleaning seats, does it ever occur to you how many farts have been driven into them over the years, and you're sookin them back oot😂😂
Kevin Burns 😂😂😂 This comment has made my day, thanks for making me laugh 😆

Good point !.....but cant always pull over just Ito break wind !
I used to rent a taxis before I bought my own and I once picked up an Octavia with 320k on the clock and that very same thought entered my head.
I don't think you can ever fully remove a good toot out of fabric. It's all about layers.
I am so surprised in how good condition the leather seats are in because I work on the older p2 platform Volvo’s and most of them that I get have awful cracked seats but these Volvo’s are amazing. Every single one.
Ikr.
Well those are semi leather but still crack.
@@AndreiAndrei-rt4po I just love all the Volvo's but not really a big fan of the big v8s in the xc90 but my favorite year is the 2007 v70, she is a beauty. That amazing 5 cylinder engine.
As long as the leather is cleaned and conditioned as it should.. there is no problems with it. Not only with volvo but with every other make (leather shoes included)
My uncle Sid has a Ford 1927 with wooden body and crank broken..that’s what I remember ...
Great video as always missed the guys and girls
