Beautiful photos! What a great road! Where is it located?
My husband and I are also amazed how well our 1999 V70XC conquers dirt roads. I was once pretty scared when climbing a steep grade that...
Alot can ride in my wagon. Where can I find one?
Sorry to see the damage on your beautiful XC. Two of my wagons have bad bumper scrape marks from careless drivers who can't even avoid parked vehicles! I believe Karma is cumulative...it'll catch up...
Glad you and everyone came through unscathed. Please keep us updated. It's disheartening to be in an accident that was not your fault.
WOW! My husband and I have dreamed of taking a driving tour like this. Now, we could just ride in your third seat and kick back! Thanks! What's for breakfast tomorrow?
Sorry to hear about your buddy. Our 4-legged friends deserve the best care. Good luck. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Hope to see your posts in the future.
An example of what happened when a Toyota 4-Runner rear-ended my 1998 V70 T5. I was stopping for a pedestrian at an intersection and not realized the SUV was tailing right behind. While braking, I...
You're quite right about the ferry fare. After a long drive with the midnight sun enticing us to drive more hours than we really should, we need a break returning to the lower 48 and have caught it...
You've captured some of the grandeurs of Alaska. What a fantastic drive! Did you return on the AK Marine Highway (aka State Ferry)? Love that horse in your car! [thumbup]
PS My avatar photo was...
JRL brings up valid points on the very different driving styles. I wouldn't think twice going anywhere with the XC, but switching to a 2.5 or T5 has me driving with much more caution.
You're faced...
I've been using products from Griot's Garage for over 5 years. Classic car buffs and museums have given them their positive testimonials. The "Leather Care" comes in both lotion and spray.

Did we just scare away a "customer"? :( Sigh... they're not always happy with the service. But, at least, efforts were made.
I've was a lurker of this forum for quite a few years before finally joining. What impressed me was the generosity of valuable information freely given just for the asking. But, as in life, meet the...
Your photos would qualify for the "Cross Country Drive" forum!
An update on my "stall" problem post from last March...
I ended up towing the 2004 V70 2.5T back to our indy Volvo shop last May. The new immobilizer hadn't fixed the stalling problem. When they...
This definitely is SPAM especially if he's trying to entice us with his "All Inclusive Vacations"!
What a fantastic trip! [thumbup] Jan is quite the trooper! Truthfully, I wouldn't like the extreme weather...even if it's a "dry" cold. The weather in San Francisco today was a sunny and mild 65F!...
Sjonnie, that's the "transmitter" noise! Luckily, it only occurs once in a long while and not non-stop which could drive anyone insane! I could be merrily driving along while listening to my CD and...
I believe my 2004 V70 2.5T has exactly the same intermittent "transmitter" sound you're experiencing. That sound came with the vehicle when it had only 4 miles on the odometer. It did irritate me...
You just got another vote!
Confession time... I've used that dreadful "W" once before with my 1999 V70XC. But, I do heed sound advice however worded. Being reminded of formerly being a "dork" would keep my finger off that...
Congratulations on the "new baby". [thumbup]
Absolutely gorgeous. Looking forward to your next driving trip.
Adrian, thanks for the confirmation. Depressing the "W" button was just too enticing... I'm just one those "idiotic dorks" who doesn't know how to drive in the snow. Our climate is just too mild. We...
I confess to having used the "W" button on rare occasions in the past on my 2004 V70 2.5T. While traveling approx. 15-20 mph over ice patches, the button has been depressed. But, as soon as the wagon...
