Posted by danjohnston on Jul 30, 2010 in S60, V70, c70, news

A while back, we asked George if he would like to review our C70. Unfortunately, he was traveling in Hawaii at the time, leaving us no way to get one there within a reasonable time frame. However, upon his return, he took one for a state-side test drive.

We kept the toy and threw away the box

Posted by Anna Kruchowski on May 15, 2009 in Volvo History
