hello, not that I want to tell my life story here….just a short hello. I read/write a lot at swedespeed, volvoforum, volvo-forums uns volvospeed, but of course I like to look at the forum in a regular way, always interesting contributions. I have been a member of motor-talk for quite a long time, we picked up a v70 and 2004 an xc90 in sweden in 2003 (my wife is American and stationed in the u.s army, then in wuerzburg/Germany). since 20 05 we now live in the states, currently stationed in California – have a few weeks ago a 2005 s60 t5. hope it is ok if I send a picture so if someone wants to have something about volvo usa or anything else, no problem – short message or answer here and I try to help. much fun yet. fritz
