Default volvo spotting but not really

was in a funeral yesterday in the forest of dean.

it was a $h1t day as any funeral but one aspect made me smile and my partner's boys smile too

the limos were stretched volvos.

so as soon as we came out of the service they came up to me and said (with tears still in their eyes)

oooh dyf they're comfier than yours AND theyve got heating!

yes Nilsson have been going since the 1970s converting volvos with volvo's blessing. The place I worked in 1988 supplied 18 in 1988 to one funeral parlour, a massive order.
