After a long time that lead the two of us not only across Europe but also the Middle East, it is time to separate. After 19 years and ten months, I decided to get a younger fellow who from now on will be under my lead when moving along. Not that I hate the old one or lost my feelings, but at a certain age, more and more little things undermine the once trusted reliability. Also, he drinks more than the younger fellow I will be with soon. But still I hope that my long-time companion will get into good hands because he is not ready for complete retirement yet!

Such a heartbreaking tale. :twisted:

Yes, I hardly could write it down because my eyes were filled with tears...

I guess few cars would make a great car after 20 years of use, Volvo would be one...

Do you need a tissue?

If you have one table-cloth-sized one, yes, please!

Somehow I was a bit early. Up to today, I am still driving my old but reliable friend. Now the deadline for separation should be second half of January. And still, although the "new" one has several positive points, I will be missing the old one!

And here is a pic of the new one (well, actually not the one I will get but same model, year and colour).
