Sorry folks... I went to the dark side...
 

As tragic as it is.. I bought a Ford... I know the F-word usually isn't tolerated here, but still I have to confess..

My apologies!

Nevertheless, a change in the tax laws over here forced me to buy a Ford truck. My passenger car would have cost me an additional 1600$ per month to keep as a business vehicle.
So now I swap my Volvo V70 AWD Summum for.. a Ford.... Transit... AWD, but it's a diesel.

I hope that you'll still talk to me...

Well maybe, but after dark only, OK?...I owned my one and only Ford when I joined this site (hence my username), but I soon got smart and bought my first Dodge...Two more Dodges later and I'm still stuck with this stupid user handle...[duhhh]...Ben

Relax, Alpine. Ford owns Cummings.

Well, there's that...

I thought it had been the other way round..

WHAT!!!!! If Ford owns Cummins, why have they gone 53.5 years looking for a decent diesel engine?
(well, maybe not quite that long...…………..[laugh])

Good looking rig, Alpine. I like that design they are all using. Sharp.

ps: Here is a great URL for Cummins history. https://www.cummins.com/timeline

Your ManVan needs some racing stripes and some stacks thru the roof.

Racing stripes will come with the ISB Re-Power... but will go low slung sidepipes, pedestrians need to appreciate me rolling coal!

Make it snort it out the grill......

Cummings isn't a diesel engine company as far as I know......[duhhh]

CUMMINGS may not be, but check out the URL I posted above about the CUMMINS company.
Stock ticker is CMI and closed at $159 last Friday.

What I need to let go for the stupid tax reasons..

Anybody want it? 7k Euros for a 2006 V70 D5 AWD.. Leather, GPS the whole shebang? No shipping to you folks!

Reading your quote ^^^ it looks like the deal got sweeter 😀

Taxes?? You should move to the United States. Taxes are why we left Europe, well that and a very lighter more mild beer......:cheers:

Well, you could do a fly and drive... or I could cut it up and send it in small pieces to avoid import duties at your side....
