I've seen this question posted on other boards and always find it interesting. So with that, what's everyone here do during the week? http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I'm a web developer, primarily front-end production and traffic-building.

Prior to this I spent ten years or so in ski retail with a focus on high performance boot fitting.

You?

Hey Coastal,

I was just wondering about that myself. I'm a self-employed property manager/owner here in Red Deer. Before that I operated a family business for 10 years before selling it in 1998. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I'm a Major Account Manager at Compaq.

In the early 90's I worked at McDonald's as a store manager. Even had the opportunity to travel to Greece to train and assist in the opening in the first McDonald's store over there.

Hi,
I'm a land surveyor ( called a land engineer, in other Canadian provinces ) ( for 24 years now ). Find my XC very handy when comes the time to get to some areas and survey some properties. The height of the vehicule was one of the specs that made me buy the XC.

I work for Qwest as a Sales Director for their European Wholesale group. My commute to the office is 80 miles each way, and at 6' 5" I needed a comfortable car. Plus if you saw the pictures I posted a while back I need a good towing vehicle.
I took the XC on a trip to Germany in September to a vehicle collectors Fair, a round trip of 800 miles. Then in October I took it to France for a touring vacation around Normandy. Best car for the job............
Just clocked up 32000 miles.

Living on an island the XC is great just to get to friends houses to play bridge, let alone skiing all winter and taking the kids to school on the side of a mountain ( that also has skiing on top).
