Default New S70 owner... From France

Hi all.

I own a '98 S70, dark grey with oak interior and some (false) wood.
It's an excellent car to travel with my (small) family : my wife and our 2 yo son. And to go working... It's roomy and really reliable for now (i own it for 2 years now).

It's a pleasure to talk with people who own volvo cars. It can be old cars or just brand new ones, it's a similar feeling.

Well, as i live in europe, you will notice that the engine is a "tdi"... Sorry for those of you that swear with petrol engines

Now, let's see my some pics...











Thank you all !

Well, so far, here are the parts i have replaced :
* heater core
* front rotors and pads
* upper engine torque
* front sway bars
* vacuum pump
* timing belt
* 4 tires (195*60 R15). I want to try 205*50 R15 but i have to change the 4 at the same time... A bit expensive

I bought some plastic floor mates, and sun visor for rear seats.

And the car has 253.000km (157.200 miles)
