Default New member from the Netherlands introducing himself

Just registered after i found this forum by searching a thread on Google. My name is Louis, married with Wendy, living and working in Rotterdam,the Netherlands and father of 2 daughters an 2 sons,so life´s busy over here:-)
My car: a 850 GLT from 1993, black stone 019, 340.000 kms and still going strong..
Wendy's car: a 850 from 1996, white 189, 265.000 kms, she don't complain so i guess she likes the car very much..
Browsing the topics, i think i'll be around here much, the info i found till now is very usefull to me.
I hope that my English is understandable and readable...

Hi I just got a S60 T5,

Your English is very good. I have a question about how good they handle in snow?
Thanks Chris

It depends on the car ,i think(my 850 is manual transmission) and your experience in snow, the S60 is in my option a safe car in any weather type.
I think driving in snow is fun with a Volvo : my car seems to be "glued" on the road, very stable, less risk of breakouts..
An example of a 850 short drift in the snow is over here: volvo 850 "sladd" - YouTube
