Pretty neat Taylor. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif I couldn't make out from the interview whether or not Claes is going to be co-driving the car being the head mechanic and all. What I found amazing was the 400L fuel capacity of the Paris/Dakar XC, roughly 5 times that of a regular XC. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif
I'm also wondering what he realistically thinks his chances are in finishing along some of the front running Mitsubishi's, let alone the race itself. It's quite evident that many of the entries will not finish the gruelling marathon simply through attrition. Still, it's a great tool for Volvo to market the XC's offroad attributes. Hats off and best of luck to Claes and crew for undertaking such an adventurous endeavor! http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
