Slip and slide in a V70

Wednesday, January 31, 2007

I got to put the all new Volvo V70 and XC70 through their paces for some film shooting. Really easy during the day, but when night came and temperatures fell it sure got exciting with unpredictable grip. The cars were still in one piece though when I was done with them, only they had developed this familiar smell from the brakes brakes. ;) Must say this was a very nice car to drive. /Carl
