Yesterday evening I traded the (more or less) faithful Dickelch at the Ford dealer for a Nugget camping bus. The motivations are simple: we like to travel individually, the Volvo is celebrating its 7th birthday and with the topic of caravan I couldn’t make friends. After the first 400 km, which we quickly rewinded yesterday, the Ford turned out to be a very pleasant touring car, which allows a travel-V of 160 km/h and consumes under 10 L diesel. With such high-speed-spheres the XC 90 was hardly quieter and consumed relatively exactly the double of gasoline. So the bus really got into the stuff to make the separation a little easier for us. He will hopefully prove to be a worthy successor and second car for my wife. What I will miss are the 7 seats, the great radio and the great optics of the Volvo. Even after 4 years he has me still so gu t fell like on the first day in his dark blue paint, which was still well shot and the dark grey leather seats. What I will not miss are the high maintenance costs, the relatively high fuel consumption and the little contoured seats of the Comfort equipment. If SUV, then XC 90. I would do that again at any time and if at some point still a reasonable diesel for the model should be available, I could become quite weak again. Finally, also I’m a car… But I don’t think that’s why I want to say goodbye to you now. Thank you so much for the good time, the good tips and the refreshing discussions here in the Moose Forum. I’ll miss you! M.
