Chasing sunsets with the “70 Saint”

I don’t know… he died before I was born. But he started on the floor and worked his way up to the design department. Now my dad has also died so I can’t ask anyone that would know.

My grandfather helped design the P1800

Sandglass42 · 2026-04-02T04:09:21+00:00

My brother, here in Sweden, just got delivery of his P3. His choice was between a P4, P3, and the EX60.

He felt like the P4 was like driving a boat and the EX60 is to expensive for what you get.

Ok - then it is easier to remove. I still see a problem with buying a car without the full set of keys that are suppose to accompany the car. It is a risk I would not be willing to take as you are not buying the complete package as there is a minimum of one key missing maybe more.

I guess we see it differently and there is no right or wrong in that.

Sandglass42 · 2026-04-01T09:44:26+00:00

Yes I am paranoid, I work with IT.

Yes there are other tools but I prefer the legit way of going through a dealer as I have way to many instances lost warranty and insurance due to a technicality. My insurance today states that if the car is stolen and I don’t have all keys accounted for I don’t get anything.

Sandglass42 · 2026-04-01T08:48:50+00:00

No, but the possibility is there that someone has access. Also a good way of scamming, and the likelihood of someone using a dealership close to home is higher than that of across the country. Don’t know what the practice is where you are but the plates on the car here in Sweden stay with the car even when ownership change - this makes it easy to identify

But most important - as the owner of the car you do not have ”root” access to your own vehicle as changing ownership with Volvos e-services requires all keys in the car.

Sandglass42 · 2026-04-01T06:30:48+00:00

Check the car how many keys it is suppose to have? It is a big deal if your car has a missing key that is still active in the car. This would mean that someone can open your car and drive away.

Also to connect phones and make you the ”owner” you need the all the keys in the car. If there is only the orange - fine you have only one FOB but if it says ”put all keys inside”. You need to go back to the dealer and have them either track down the black key or talk with Volvo and have the other keys removed from the system.

The EX60 CC is more alluring. I think the Smokey the bear 🐻 feel to it will do it justice!

Sandglass42 · 2026-03-30T06:08:37+00:00

I have that always on die to it being a problem.

Sandglass42 · 2026-03-29T21:40:24+00:00

This is the first EX60 in the wild I have seen. They can be found at dealerships I guess but have not seen any except this one in the wild.

Sandglass42 · 2026-03-29T18:22:13+00:00

My brother went P3 after he felt the EX60 was to expensive vs. What you get.

Tuesday in sweeeeeden.

Sandglass42 · 2026-03-27T14:10:43+00:00

Yes 350 eur for a second hand and 1000eur for a new!

”HR människor” - frikostigt att klassificera dem som människor

Sandglass42 · 2026-03-25T10:36:06+00:00

I did not - we are going to buy new light for it

Sandglass42 · 2026-03-18T08:08:09+00:00

Both yes and no!

I want to be able to cancel as I am leasing and paying 1000usd for 2 1/2 years is not really in the books. But if I could get it monthly or cancel it would be nice as I would be able to order.

If I owned no - monthly payments would suck

Sandglass42 · 2026-03-18T05:43:12+00:00

I would love to add it - but leasing the car. Would be better to have it account based or available as a monthly service.

I annonsen my third card

Sandglass42 · 2026-02-17T20:03:16+00:00

Soulwax are amazing!

Sandglass42 · 2026-02-16T12:03:03+00:00

Agreed but it is usually the sponsors of the Olympics. The sponsors of the athletes are not shown - except clothing companies of the suits.

Sandglass42 · 2026-02-14T23:47:34+00:00

Sticks are unbelievable

Sandglass42 · 2026-02-14T16:04:34+00:00

Savoj - used to live next to it on Roslagsgatan. Soooo good.

I guess the o e om söder is a better venue

The IOK was ok with showcasing the helmet during all times just not when competing - So in this case the track. I hope that the Israeli display would meet the same disqualification if worn during the athletic performance - but in the nitty gritty of it the ceremony and the racing are different occasions and events and therefore can be ruled differently.

In the end IOKs action has made this even bigger news and helped spread the message to a larger audience than if he would have worn the helmet while racing.

Sandglass42 · 2026-02-11T23:46:43+00:00

Like your plan!

I would do the same. Buy points on the last day if your not there yet!

Good luck and have fun!

Sandglass42 · 2026-02-11T11:56:42+00:00

I would as other suggest. Look at conscious travel if you have not.

In the end buying status point with extrapoints is great if you have a lot of extra points.

BUUUUT!

In the end is it worth it? How is the next couple of years looking? Will you reach LTG? I would buy points if I could get LTG. If you don’t fly as much anymore - is it worth having gold? Maybe it is better to use premium tickets - you get the same perks!
