So Adrianne needed a new car, her focus was starting to get a bit aged. So for mothers day, I traded in my R and her focus on a 2006 XC90 Fully loaded 2.5T that came in on trade.

Gotta love cost!

But now I'm stuck daily driving the truck, which I'm not keen on. I think I see a 245 turbo will be in the future- for getting back and forth to work (4.8km each way).

Yay! Back to the 240 fold! Course I bet the truck will get about the same gas mileage as a 240T...

XC90, nice! What color combo / spec? How long did they make them with the 2.5T for? :D

Good luck finding a 245 Turbo here unless your going to do it yourself! :(

Hey Darren, Sorry I didn't make it to the club meet today, Dan came down and took away my brothers old 740. On a positive, we have another for the club, he will be hopefully coming out next month when his car is on the road.
XC90 with the T5 was only available until 06 then they went V8 and 3.2L. I would have taken a V8, but this one came up. I think it is Saville Grey on black, I think. LOL, its not mine its hers! It *may* be a green. It doesn't help that I'm color blind.

Before I get a 245, I gotta buy a bike. Its only 4.6Km from my house to my bay at work, I should be getting some exercise instead of driving every day.

The truck does get pretty good mileage. Not so much around town, but on the highway it did 11L/100km from Kamloops. I haven't driven much in town to get any mileage accuracy.

Water pump is done, 7.5 hour mitchell time, done in an hour and a half.
