I'll take that hit :wink:

Although still kinda hush hush...this will be changing sooner than later

We should set up a meeting for April...either 10-14 or later in the month like last week...barring a death in the family I can say I'll be there...100%

cheers!

oh and welcome! that V70R? is it the baller blue color? such a nice ride regardless

A spring cruise sounds awesome, just need to clear out the renovation debris from behind my car storage so I can get the Volvord out (inside joke right Vik :wink: )

With all these promises I should ask for a deposit that would only be refundable when the member shows up,
Think of the modification I could afford with that type of income =D>

OK, someone arrange the meet and let us know when and where

Henry, V70R... nice! Any pictures? What color combo? I'd love one. :mrgreen:

As far as a meet goes... please not April 10th weekend; this morning I said I'd work that date! :( If you guys come up with something by Monday I'll pass the word on at the Edmonton meet!

Calgary people, have no fear, I'll help add 1 more to the count. :)

Thank you. Yup, it has the blue interior. The only thing I wish for is the 6sp MT. I asked the dealer to do a search thru the entire US, all the MT were sold. I had to settle for a AT.

You know ... Canadian $ is high, US R prices are good, there are VR and SR in the market. If you want to bring one back, I can help you with the import info. It's really not that hard, just have to do the home work and the math.

Oh, forgot to ask, what is "Baller Blue"? That can't be a factory color. :D

Not the best pic, does look a tad "smurfy" doesn't it? In real light the Sonic Blue is pretty sharp although I prefer the Laser Blue from the 98-00 years.
