Re: What did you do to your P2 Volvo today?

I’m the same way! I’ll do that usually I the summer when I have a few days off, usually turns into a two day ordeal but I do enjoy doing it. My cars not even pretty like yours, I’ve got hail damage and scratches and lots of paint chips! That’s a very nice V 70.

I saw this minty XC a couple miles from my house a few months ago, it was on a driveway with no plates or it. Last week I knocked on the door to see what the story was on it and if it might be for sale. The guy bought it a few months ago for his son and shortly after, his son got a job that included...

Re: 2025 MVS Travel Talk Forum Thread for Volvo People

Walking England (while you’re there) https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20250528-what-i-learned-from-walking-britains-entire-coast They've got a "walk across England" tour that takes I believe 8 days where you can stay in trekking huts each night. That is so on my bucket list when I retire!
