I have now been driving my new V70 flexifuel car for 2 weeks and every time that I'm getting up in speed (+ 100 km/h) on the fifth gear, I'm ready to shift up to next gear. I'm surprised that there ain't no sixth gear (like on my previous V50 T5), because it sounds like the engine is begging for one more at 3300 revs. Hmmmm... I'm not really happy with this. It also makes an enormous contrast to our V6 engine in the Voyager, that is cruising at the same speed on 1800 revs. It's a bigger pleasure driving that old van, mainly due to the sound of the engine. It feels more in harmony with me.

I'm not really interested in cars as such. Just a transport utility that should work without any problems. Need to find winter tyres for the van soon. Some mornings have been below zero and the roads on the hills around our home are a bit dodgy from time to time. One of my main tasks of the week will be to fix this.

Yes, the flu has left my system. It has really helped to empty my body from all kind of energy reserves the last 4-5 days. If I remember correct according to some old body charging theories, it's good to clean out and empty your body, before star...

Time is flying in supersonic speed, so it's good to reflect back now and then, to get a picture of what's happening in life. That's why I now and then take a glimse back in some files to check what was going on the year or years before at...
