21st of September 2019: It is my Volvo P 1800E 7th birthday!

This week end, I had several things to celebrate. My Volvo P 1800E 7th birthday and my business Partner's new house, in Normandy. 


So, it was natural to take the Volvo for a road trip near Deauville. 

The weather was top, and the Volvo drove wonderfully. A dream. 

It is always funny to see the contrast between this vintage car and its modern comrades. 










No assisted steering wheel, the brakes are from another era but the pleasure is strong, sublime. 

And it is not that tough to drive... 



Since it is back form my mechanic, four months have passed, and 3200 kilometers, too. 

In seven years, I didn't use it for 8 months. Because I needed to find the time to solve my fuel pump issue. It is nothing, compared to the pleasure of driving it for... 48, 000 kilometers.

Long life to her! 

Best,

Nicolas

Vintage cars, vintage watches (and welted shoes): they go together! Cheers from Zurich Richard

Merci, Richard! [nt]
