Santa, are you reading this? Hope so :biggrin:

Tint
6 pair Thule or Yak ski holders
Rubber floor mats
Nokian or Gilslaved snowies
Coin holder

And if you've got a few extra bucks, a matching silver C70 convertible for the wife would be nice. :biggrin:

Great choices Coastal! Here are a few of mine:

Integrated rear armrest/cooler
Hands-free cell phone adapter kit
Front mudflaps (I wish)
Prof.Exterior/Interior Detail

and a companion V70 T5 to occupy the other half of the garage...or, I'd settle for a DVD nav. system.http://www.theunholytrinity.org/cracks_smileys/otn/wink/thumb.gif

What's a "snowie"?

Art, I had the detail/protectant applied. Only time will tell if it was worth it.

I'm pretty happy the way my XC is set up, but if I had a wish it would be for a Granny Gear and maybe a little more time to drive her. My wife has all the luck.

Snowies= snow tires. :biggrin:

I'm in the same perdicament as you Lance... I work at home so I don't get as much time behind the wheel of the XC as she does... partially thankful for the fact that I have a 30 foot commute though. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Definately treat your ride to a professional detail, very much worth it. Mine ended up costing &#36180 CAD which is basically free in USD! As you've likely read in my previous posts it's worth the cost, that is assuming you can find a true pro!

Hi!

I found a nice accessory for chrismas.

An mp3 player which looks like a normal audio casette. So you can just put it in the Volvo Audio System and you have MP3. This thing can be loaded with 64MB, and has a headphone jack also. Nice.

Ciao

wow, this thread got revived one year to the day&#33;

In terms of an update big guy, I&#39;ve managed to take care of most of the items on the list myself. You can scratch everything but the Nokians, but I want the WR&#39;s instead of snows. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif:D

Was just over in the Front mud flaps available in oz (http://xc70.com/cgi-bin/ib3/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=1;t=885;st=0) thread and I had this thought: wouldn&#39;t it be nice if there was a comprehensive parts/accessories catalog online? Then I would know what I would like in my wish-list... http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif

Kind of a meta-wish but what the heck? http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

- volvoXC.com Decals (http://www.v70xc.com/marketplace/index.html) (hint, hint) http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Just to name a few. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

As our XC is only two months old, my list is still pretty basic:

Tints (next week)
Coin holder (stocking)
Elastic cargo net (Christmas)
Mobil 1 (@5000 mile LOF)
Digital tire pressure gauge &amp; torque wrench (@5000 mile rotation)
Front and rear mudflaps (@ 1st rotation)
Reset stock equalizer (as soon as find the time)

But most of all, I wish my wife would drive the pick-up so I can have the XC&#33;

Happy Holidays,
Tom
