I don't know if this has been done before on here, but here goes.
You know you're a Volvo driver when...…. I'll start if off with a couple. - Two Volvos owned so far and the next one most likely going to wear the same badge - You correct someone when they tell you their (non Volvo car) has the most comfortable seats ever. Having been a V70 owner, I feel qualified to put them right! |

You look at other people in their estate cars from different marques and think my boot is bigger than yours. 😁

When your idea of a nice afternoon involves a drive out, tartan rugs and thermos flasks of tea by the pier!

Your favourite film is Crazy People.
Your car is called Sven. You know the origin of "I roll." You know that no one has ever died in the UK while travelling in an XC90. |
