Thanks for that Gary I must have missed that one. The V50 is only a bit smaller than the '70 range and about the same price but considerably less capable - as they said Volvo Estates are for carrying vast loads. TG were comparing it with V70 sized motors - not a fair comparison.

I don't think you will - unless it is syndicated "over there", it's so British I don't think it will travel.
If you like our zany humour and peculiar ways could I persuade you to have a look tomorrow evening (Saturday 9th. September) on BBC tv at "The Last Night of the Proms". It's an example of serious music fans letting their hair down, dressing up and waving flags. It only happens one a year, and even if you are not into "serious music", you can't but help be amused by the dedication of the fans.
I know that it gets a world-wide audience, but passes most folks by, being put off as "highbrow", but the second half is definitely not.
Probably totally irrelevant - but could be of interest to you - especially as you're leaving us next year.
Mike.
