    Post Last car wash....

    Mixed feelings today washing my car for the last time..

    Tomorrow I'll head to the Netherlands to trade in my 02 XC for a new 2008 V70 classic sports edition. It has all the goodies I could possibly want on a new car, but I'll certainly miss the XC and the special XC community here on-line.

    I'll post some pics when I have my new ride next week.

    Everybody take care, I'll certainly be lurking around in the future !

    Pico,

    You've been a great supporter of the site over the years and your presence will, without a doubt, be missed.

    With that said, don't be shy and check up on us from time-to-time.

    Look forward to seeing those pics of your new V70.

    Cheers good buddy!

    pico,

    I just traded my 2004 XC70 on a Lexus RX350. Let's just say I miss my XC already and its only been about a month. But I wanted to let you know that you were actually the final inspiration for my XC purchase back in 04. A couple of the pictures you posted in the gallery were so well done that they became the background on my PC desktop for a while. Looking at them everyday finally drove me over the top. Good luck with your new ride.

    Pico,
    Hope you enjoy the new V70. With the extent of commonality between the XC70 and the V70 I hope you'll decide to stick around the volvoXC.com community.

    so just because you're changing car you think to get rid of us? no way!
    hope to read your impressions about the new 70 even if i'm convinced that you'll miss xc's personality.
    read you soon
    ciao

    Pico, Why not get another XC over the V70? Something to do with the terrain of the Netherlands versus Portugal?
