Well, 40 years of marriage….and she reminds me of my luckiest day of my life…

Isn’t the Volvo Museum inSweden nearby? Shouldn’t we go For a look?

She is accompanying me on a trip to Denmark this week, and I have to head to Prague on the week after, so its Veekend of Volvo.

(it looks like playing a looped record ing of” Volvo Museum” on her phone ftom 2300-044 has paid off!)

Never managed to get there. My mum and dad did. They got to go on a field trip to Sweden with a Volvo club from the UK. Museum and factory tour as well. I was so jealous as I was unable to go due to work commitments. Glad you are to get there.

Some nice ones!

What is the little yellow-green Fiat 128-ish thing? That’s a Volvo?

The rally Amazon, the Duett in bluette, the deep blue 240 wagon, the 850 RACEWAGON!

Amazing how low they got the chassis over the wheels.
