Wow!
Wow! Now there's proof positive and testament to the solid engineering of a Volvo.
Surely Gotenburg's finest could do something to recognise the achievement (assuming that the Ford beancounters in Dearborn don't scupper the idea!) |

And not a single stone chip ;o)
I'll be overtaking him soon with my 200,000 850 T5 - I've got a set of axel stands and a brick for the gas pedal |

Surely when the time comes to retire the car, Volvo will buy it for the museum.
