Hi everyone, i'm new to this forum and figured I would introduce myself. I'm a fairly new Volvo owner and I live in Germany. I bought my wife our first Volvo (XC60) about seven months ago. I sold her Galant, my Jetta GLX and my baby a Mustang GT so we could load up on the options. I have to say, it was worth every penny! I've had alot of cars and this is by far the best. Except hitting small bumps in the road sound like I just hit a speed bump @ 30mph.

I just returned from the desert and was so impressed with her Volvo I found a 2001 S40. The car has all service records and it's in great shape. It runs like a champ, i'm going to drive it down to Italy and Spain within the next few weeks. I'll make sure I post some pics. Nice to meet you all.

 

Congrats on getting the Volvo, but mainly congrats on getting rid of the rustang !

Where in Italy are you headed?

 

Welcome to the Volvo family.

 

Were going to stay near Pisa. Then do the usual tourist places, Pisa, Florence, Rome and Pompay. Today we cruised down to Mainz and followed the Rhein. Car ran great on it's first trip.

 

Sounds like a nice trip. Don't plan on spending too much time around Pisa, there isn't that much to do. Pompeii is similar, unless you want to do Sorrento and Naples also. Florence and Rome are both going to be amazing!

I lived in Italy for 8 years, really miss it.
