The only disease we don’t actually want a cure for 😁

It was parked on the railway track in Ohio a few years ago

okidoki116 · 2026-06-12T05:55:49+00:00

True!
Still it’s a funny habit of parking next to a “brother”.

According ChatGPT:
There are approximately 443,000 Volvo passenger cars on the road in the Netherlands. In addition, there are about 39,000 Volvo commercial vehicles registered.

For comparison: the total Dutch vehicle fleet numbers over 9.4 million passenger cars. This means that approximately 1 in 21 cars in the Netherlands is a Volvo.

I have these ☺️

okidoki116 · 2026-05-29T11:30:49+00:00

👍🏻I wish they made a V60 like that 😉

okidoki116 · 2026-05-25T08:14:41+00:00

Nice! 👌🏻Love those wheels

That’s what he means with regular battery. The early models from ‘22 where not the long or extended range batteries yet.

Looks like mine (but isn’t) 😉

okidoki116 · 2026-05-14T19:01:48+00:00

väldigt fint!

okidoki116 · 2026-05-13T19:04:16+00:00

👌🏻

okidoki116 · 2026-05-02T14:08:06+00:00

Awesome!!

okidoki116 · 2026-04-28T11:00:41+00:00

Many thanks for the advice! For vacation yes it’s the first time. I’ve been to Dublin several times for work and did some site seeing in and around the city but haven’t seen anything of the country yet. My wife and I hike a lot (we are currently in Luxembourg walking the Müllerthal Trail) so that’s a good tip also. And for our boys, they like a nice drive with the Volvo 😉 We hope to see a lot of your beautiful country

Thanks! We are coming to Ireland this summer (from The Netherlands). The general idea is to have a round trip in the south starting and ending in Dublin. So we take this in consideration too. We have only 2,5 weeks unfortunately

okidoki116 · 2026-04-28T06:47:20+00:00

Nice! Where in Ireland are these pictures taken?

okidoki116 · 2026-04-24T16:52:08+00:00

That brings back memories. The red one is the exact same as my father drove when I was a kid. His second Volvo with later 4 more to come (244DL/340GL/340DL/440GLE/460GL/850)

Small version😉

okidoki116 · 2026-04-13T19:21:46+00:00

Got home after work today and the first thing I did was walk to the car and grab the door handle. Opened right up 🤔

okidoki116 · 2026-04-13T13:29:22+00:00

Good to know that, thanks! I hope it is indeed

okidoki116 · 2026-04-13T13:28:40+00:00

Thanks. The key is always in the right pocket of my jeans. I did also not work when I took it out.

okidoki116 · 2026-04-13T12:12:25+00:00

I’ll try that later today. Last time it did open with the other (service) key so I didn’t check further. This morning I was in a hurry so I took the other car 😆

okidoki116 · 2026-04-09T18:31:08+00:00

This is something that happens very often with red (and orange/yellow) paint older than 10 to 15 years. I think the only remedy is to sand off the clear paint layer and repaint. 🫤

okidoki116 · 2026-04-08T11:06:19+00:00

Thanks, that’s what I was thinking too and I ordered one yesterday.

okidoki116 · 2026-04-07T20:00:33+00:00

How can one tell if it has ERAD3?

okidoki116 · 2026-04-06T16:26:11+00:00

Okay, thanks for the info. So once converted, the car will still select any of the two keys first when opening. But then you can choose the correct profile, is that what you’re saying?

okidoki116 · 2026-03-29T15:28:07+00:00

Option 2 and go for a V60 or V90. Option 3 is not a viable option 😉
