Congrats Alice, you will love this car, driving a Volvo is a lot of fun. I have the same colour.

You will find that the Volvo dealers are super nice for service. I wonder if our cars can make it that high. I love that car in the link.

We traded in a Volvo GLT which is kind of rare I think because it was gas not diesel and it had over 300,000 miles on it and was still going strong.

Ah, the P1800. Roger Moore as Simon Templar (his best role) driving a Pearl White with red interior, licence plate ST1. If I could only find one of these around…

Certainly the best looking Volvo ever made, IMHO. There’s bunches around here, it seems as I seem them fairly often. (Don’t seem to be too expensive to buy, either.)
