Not diesel or MB related but certainly worth a mention. My salutes to Honda and the person who kept it.

I claim foul on the non commercial part of that record.
I mean it was pretty much the guy's job to drive... sure he owned the car, but he worked for volvo, so really, it's an advertisement as well. and I but he got reimbursed for the mileage. most of it anyway.

That car and that man are well known to Volvo fans everywhere. One like it was featured on the old Roger Moor TV set, "The Saint"

The old rear wheel drive Volvos really do last a long time.
