Re: The XC70 is back, but there's a catch

Funny, people complained about American Land Yachts of the 60's and 70's - big bloated heavy long cars and wagons. Tons of room for families and vacations. Almost always big or excessively big engines, an offshoot of the muscle car era to make them more palatable to macho buyers. That era passed lon...

Re: 850 feels like it it's missing

Wow, that is a hole alright. And the color and deposits on those two valves are different from all the others - but that could have been from after it burned through.

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