Default How old

Bought my first Amazon when I was 28 and now on wrong side of 70. Then a 144E, 264GLE, S80 2.9, S60 D5(163), 960,940GLE, 940, S80 D5 (4 years now and love it), V70. Now have my 2nd Amazon, C70 T5 GT and my S80.
Had a Volvo since 1971 but also had the Audi's, BMW, VW's, 24V Senator - great car, but always went back to Volvo.

33, 2014 V60 D6, my third volvo.

Had 2 S60 D5's, 2005 and 2007, owned both around 5 years, love the 5 pot engines 👍

I imagine my next one will be full electric if it's something i can afford, or i will sadly be moving away from Volvo and into a used tesla.

52 and have a 2009 V70 2.4D SE Lux Geartronic. 2nd Volvo after a long line of SAABs. One unfortunate and with hind sight foolish diversion into Audi.

To be honest I think I've lost count. I'm 66 just parted with my beloved V70R remapped estate. I love seeing M3' & M5' getting smaller in the rear view...but still retain a couple the 2.4T being quite nippy just shy of the T5 performance. Lol forgot to put the T5 in my sig...getting old...

I am 43 and have my old 1987 780 since 2009 which is my pride and joy and only come out when the sun shines. Wife has a 2016 XC60 T5. For everyday car a drive a ”german swede” as I like to call an Audi. Understated and bold. Although a 2017 S6 so no complaints. Also have a 2015 Mustang GT which is my toy
