LETTER OF THE WEEK
Love and loss
Rachel Burgess’s final Volvo V90 report in the 5 June issue really hit home with me. I almost felt like crying when I got to the end – but then had to chuckle as I excitedly read Will Rimell’s comment out to my wife after saying: “Look, someone else had pictures of V70s on their wall as a teenager too!” Now she thinks we’re both odd – sorry, Will.
Over the past 25 years or so, I’ve owned many Volvo estates, buying nothing else since I could afford them. I even managed to snag one of the final new V60s from stock after a frantic runaround on discovering my order for a newly built one didn’t go through on the Volvo website (it was that fateful weekend).

But what do I do next? I’m a Volvo driver. More than that, I’m a Volvo estate driver. I can’t bring myself to buy any of the company’s SUVs. Dare I become a BMW Touring driver? I can’t see any other way.
