Next Stop England

Volvo Vera
Spotted the worlds only Volvo Vera earlier in the week. The guy behind the wheel is Björn Virving. He built the car himself. I met him at a car meet five years ago. Since then he has moved to Haninge and I have met him a few times. Last time he was on a cool motorcycle. The car is named after his wife, Björn told me that he will take both Vera's with him this summer on a visit to England.

He'll have fun tooling around the UK in that beautiful rig!

I read the other day that it appears Volvo will quit the U.S. market due to such a low share of it. That's too bad. I've owned two Volvos (the old ones that looked like 1946 Fords!)...

BTW, I'm posting on our website blog; come visit if you get a chance:

Intressant bygge med alla attribut för att vara en "brittisk" sportbils-ikon. Kul! Och bra avbildad!

I'd love to see that in Saltaire!

I hope he does not put any dents or scratches from driving on the wrong side of the road in the UK.

I did not know that Volvo is pulling out of the US until seeing Lowell's comment above. My father walked away from an accident that left his Volvo a total wreck on the day he was diagnosed with dimentia.
