We've not gone on any previous "tours", but would be interested. Is the group open to an older retired couple from central Oregon?
On two recent trips (1-Bend, OR at 3500 feet to San Diego and then again 2-Bend to Oakland returning on the highway 101 through Brookings on the coast and then back over the cascades to Bend our...
We have not done this before and would like to. However, We will have just come back from a short stint in the San Juans and as part of the "over the hill gang", (translate as over 70), we'll need a...
I had a different experience a couple weeks ago when we traveled to Seattle. Somehow when something was set on the counsole, the "W" buttom was activated. I didn't notice it or anything unusual...
After interaction with Schwab, Costco and Tire factory, I had Cooper Weather Master ST2's installed with studs at Tire Factory. The Nokian choices were the WR's (w/o studs) and the Haqqa Q...
We've been driving around NW Washington and out to the Oregon Coast (about 1500 miles worth). With no ready access to Internet (Libraries give 30 minutes to an hour), I didn't have a good...
Art,
Please add my name to the draw.
Thanks,

I'm at 30K with my 04' and still have 5/32's left on the original Pirelli Scorpion STRs. As we live in the NW, I usually get my tires from Les Schwab and they have taken good care of us with other...
We have almost 15K on our 2004 and we have this sound. It is always there when we start up, but only lasts for a few seconds. After start up it will occur randomly as we are driving. We are in...
My dealer wanted $90 for the software feature. Comes free on other cars!
Otherwise love the car after almost 15K miles.

Joel,
It was and is my understanding that delivery schedules can be somewhat flexible. We took delivery of a Crystal Green XC 70 on March 12 this year. We drove around Sweden and Norway (had a...
Yes, it is a brake light. We had that message in the FDC parking lot after our first drive around the Volvo property! http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif It turned out that...
Greetings,
Ours is an XC70 delivered March 12 at the FDC. It is Crystal Green with Premium and Touring Packages. We ordered it w/o moonroof but it came free! In addition we have load levelers....
Guy,
Hope this still catches you before you leave.
We got back from FDC the end of March. Had a great trip that I will report more on separately. Saw XC70Viking - he's a great tour...
Good Thread! Thanks for the link to the XC90 Board Raynald.
We just picked up our XC70 (Crystal Green) at the FDC on March 12. At around 600 miles both T1 and T2 reset to zero. We saw...
Thanks for the input. That's the conclusion we have come to after talking with our insurance agent.
We're on the plane tomorrow afternoon!

We are scheduled to take delivery next week in Goteborg of an XC70 and I am concerned about the specific insurance coverage provided through the FDC. The verbage seems to imply that we have...
Hey, sounds like you are having a good time running around in your new XC! http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif
Thanks again for the thoughts on routing and things to see. I...
XC70Viking,
Great message about your wheels coming early! And, thanks for the extra tips. I am tracking the weather already, but your site is a good addition with more info. Yes, we are...
Time to check and see if any one else from the Board is scheduled for Goteborg mid-March. We are due for pickup the morning of March 12.
We'll go to London for three nights and to Goteborg on the...
XC70Viking,
The circumstances are working in your favor for driving to Voss and Bergen!
I've checked on rail fares and the tourist agency here can't get us senior rates. Therefore I think...
Spud,
Glad you are back safely and had such a wonderful trip! Thanks for all of your posts. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
We are leaving March 7 for pickup on the 12th....
Merv,
Thanks for the comments. Yes, I was wondering about parking in Stockholm.
By the way, I notice you have a wooden steering wheel. Any regrets on that decision? That's the...
Almost forgot. Thanks XC70Viking for your helpful comments! You got me to look at the alternatives for driving and train in order to maximize our experience in Norway. My wife and I...
OK, Here's the way the schedule is working out. We are not going to drive into Norway far (just to Oslo) if at all because we will be taking the train trip + Norway in a Nutshell trip...
