We finally got a light dusting here, much to my dogs enjoyment.

I was suprised to see these old Volvos being driven around on the Swedish snow, im fairly sure the P80 has good ABS compared to this old thing..is it an Amazon?

Love the colors in that pic.

I owned an old 145 in Ithaca for about 4 weeks. The traction was horrible, no braking. I was comparing it to my 1200cc 1965 Beetle and my Golf, which were much better on Ithaca’s hills. It was another 10 years before I bought my first P80. That virus took hold....

Just figured out you were coveting our T4 wheels?

Blimey, my bad, I should have qualified that. The black V70 posted by S60UT is on Satellite wheels (I believe), a rim that was not available in the UK. It's a lovely design, a smaller more tasteful Titan in my opinion. T4 wheels aren't bad, either

Hello band of... U

Finaly, i couldn't resist : here's my contribution to this marvellous post created by the no less marvellous Abscate Le Grand !

Bolido under the snow !

Look at Its color, its amazing shapes, its look : Doesn't it remind you of a sunset on a beach in Barbados, with Ursula ANDRESS coming out of the water wiping her dream body with an XXL towel signed Volvo? Hm?

Manov , How dare U

That is quite a striking image, and the car is nice too.

I just checked your short and long range forecast - you will get to enjoy that snow for many weeks before it has a chance to melt.
Glad I am not there.

Incredibly we got 7 cm of rain overnight the following Monday and all that snow was gone

The day my son was born. This was late October!

Best day of my life.
