Congratulations - car looks great, I'm sure you're having a blast...

(Those wheel rims look like the MY'03 versions - did you special order them on your '04, or is this a late-delivered 2003 model?)

Congrats,

The pictures really show off the car well.  We'll look for a report of the trip shortly.

We're placing an order on Tuesday next week.  Still trying to decide which one: XC70, XC90 or V70R.

We had a spectacular time with the OSD.  Hans was wonderful.  The factory tour alnoe was worth the trip and I highly recommend it.  We had the wing-profile bars added, the steel barrier, the trash bin, and the gfog light covers.  We had promised another forum member to get her a set of fog light covers as well.   Well, I have some bad news, they only had one set on hand and it was put on our car (Looks great).  I had Hans type up a letter to Ani_a apologizing for being out of stock, but we did manage to get your trash bin.

We are leaving Stockholm today after seeing the Vasa Warship museum yesterday and running around Gamla Stan.  I hope to drive back to the Palace before we blow out of town for a shot of the car in front.  We're going to try and hit a few castles on our trip south now.  TOday's destination, Malma or Copenhagen.  Probably Malma so we can see the bridge when we cross it.

That's about it for now.  Lots of new pics, but none with the car.  We'll write more when we can access "the net"

Merry Christmas everyone!!

I agree, the factory tour was awsome.  Even though we had been up for 25 hours I still loved it.  

 

We thought the bridge was pretty cool too.  It is about 200 miles from Gothenburg to Malmo and the roads are very smooth.  Alot of farmland in the southern part of Sweden.  Have fun

We are having great difficulty finding internet accessible computers that have the speed and quality to send our pictures to the forum.

We have arrived safely in Brugge, Belgium.  All is going well.  The car has been flawless to date.  Still unscathed despite several close calls with bikers in Amsterdam yesterday.  We elected to leave the city and travelled south to a small town.  We'll be in Paris in a couple days.  We're still getting a lot of pictures, we'll posst them all when we get back.  IF we can find a good computer in all Europe to use, we'll get some on-line for everyone.

Merry CHristmas!!!

Hiya Tom, Congrats and Merry Christmas!

I totally missed the recent developments of this thread with your photos and posting until now, thought it was more talk about the original thread topic.

Great photos.. feel free to email them to me if you're having any problems at [email protected].

Cheers!

Taylor.
