The fraternity of Volvo owners.

dave r · Apr 11th, 2006, 16:47

Just been shopping in Peterborough, it's hell in there!
One little moment lifted my afternoon though, having actually got into the multi-storey car park, I joined the merry-go-round and searched for an empty bay. There must have been at least 8 cars in front of me, all looking for that elusive vacant bay, when there was a quick flash of headlights. The driver of a V70 waited until I was close and with a cheery wave nipped out and let me have his parking bay.

What a gentleman!!

Has anyone else got examples of this brotherhood of Volvo drivers gentlemanly behaviour on the road?

i had a 960 owner wave at me the other day as our cars were the same colour lol

i think my swedish front plates and rhd confused him a bit though

however, when im out in my corrado, the corrado owners cant help but give a flash of the lights and a wave

I had a 122S in the '60's and allways got flashed by any other Volvo that passed.
