On the Continent Again..

I saw quite a few more Volvo XC70's when I visited Belgium again last week, new models.

I then was talking to the man who had made my kitchen, as he was running the previous model XC70. He said that this was the last of the proper Volvo's, since the new model was actually built from the Mondeo platform?? Seems like every car is associated to a Mondeo as if it is a bad thing, I thought the Mondeo was very good? Anyway, told him my story about the water, and he was very suprised. He also thought my fuel consumption was very bad too compared to his model - which was also a manual D5.
