Hi!
In a word 'never have' as the car is a 6 Speed Manual 'Cog Box' .
Sadly however there will be no more Morocco or anywhere else pictures as I was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer a few months...
WOW!
Loved the write up and what an experience!
I have a 2010/11 XC70 on the opposite side of the 'Pond' same colour as yours now with over 118,000 Miles racked up, while the 5 'pot' banger is a...
While I have a 2010 XC70 D5 SE AWD Manual, (205BHP) and I tow. It has been the best Volvo I have had in over 45 years of owning and driving Volvo's and I am still enjoying driving this one, even with...
Our pleasure. [thumbup]
Hi,
As your XC is a UK Model (Somerset is in the UK?) then I am afraid that your daytime running lights cannot be switched off.
Cheers
Unfortunately this sickness that has returned did not make for a decent trip to Kenitra. It was a case of get there while trying not to have a very severe bout of coughing which we just about...
When our XC70 went in for it's 'Annual Inspection' the Grease Monkey who was doing the test did not know how to use the Rolling Road to test the EPB, so he drove the car across the forecourt with a...
The third and final set of pictures for this part.
Takes us from the Snow Barrier Gate on the Marrakech side of the Tiz-N-Tichka, down the mountain with the spectacular scenery and the wet dirty...
The second set of pictures are for the Tiz-N-Tichka Pass itself as once again the scenery was fantastic but impassable a number of days ago when it was under over 2 meters of SNOW in places.

Time to move on even if we both do not feel 100%.
The trip was from Skoura to an Autoroute Service Area north of Marrakech going via the Tiz-N-Tichka Mountain Pass over the lower Atlas Mountains,...
Next day still with a very bright blue sky, but another very low temperature last night.
So we decided even though we are possibly ‘enjoying’ either a bad case of influenza or bronchitis to go...
Our first morning after we get back to Skoura with a wonderful bright blue sky, a frozen over car after a hard frost and a really nice view along the snow covered mountains from the campsite.
...
As we pulled out of Camping Ourti in Tinghir this morning we could not help but notice the snow on the mountains which had fallen last night as we also learned later that the snowfall had blocked...
Thanks ssicarman.
We just completed the second bit from Tinghir back to Skoura which I am about to upload and the snow has melted/disappeared from the flatlands the further West we have come so...
Oops! Looks like possible 'trouble ahead'!!
After checking the weather forecast yesterday as the ‘European Cold Front’ seems to be going across Morocco as well, we found that our next destination...
Next trip out was to Fesna which on the outskirts of the town has an underground irrigation/canal system that you can take a short tour to have a look around with a good explanation of what it was...
Set off for a look around Erfoud today which is a town that seems to ‘specialise’ in ‘Desert Fossils’ except a large percentage do not come from the Desert as they are ‘hand made’ by men working in...
Just added a few more pictures to the Hakkou slide show.........
From Tinerhir our next stop for a few days and hopefully nicer weather will be Aoufous and Camping Hakkou.
So it’s back on the road again. First through the centre of Tinerhir, then passed the new...
Just added a few more pictures to the slide show of Tinerhir of the campsite and views over the town from the veranda of the café on the campsite.
The morning of the following day saw the majority of the snow had melted overnight which left the campground in Skoura quite muddy.
As the morning went on the ground in places dried out quite a...
Monday 29th January 2018, at 03:00hrs I was awake and heard something hitting the roof of the ‘TinTent’. I got up to have a look and found it had started SNOWING outside as it was very large...
Couple of days later we decided to take a trip to a town called El Kelaä M’Gouna with a few pictures of the day……

Next stop was Skoura and one of our favourite campsites ‘Amridil’ with a few pictures of the village, the dying palm trees, the view at the rear of the campsite, a wonderful sunset and my 2 lengths...
So we then after 3.5 hours of travelling over the Piste Road get into Ouarzazate and head off into the city after getting set up on the campsite, as we see the ‘Golden Sparkly Paint’ house.
We...
