Re: Deep Snow
In deep snow, is it preferable to "ski" up and over the snow or allow the front wheels to plow through and dig in? Having grown up and learned to drive in the "snow belt" of Michigan, IMHO there is nothing worse than getting high centered on snow. So I'd never want to "ski ...

Re: My Pinzgauer 712 - unknown model variant
Didn't realise the Austrian army had switched from light air defense artillery (20mm) to short-range ground-to-air missiles... while I really should have because I was still spending two weeks per year in the Swiss army, serving in light air defense, when we did the exact same thing... Main differen...

Re: Posters for sale
Hi do you still have a set of posters (one of each)? Took me ages to realize it, but I'm interested.
They will travel back to Switzerland, so I'd be happy to have them laminated only if it does not prevent them being rolled up in a cardboard tube for shipment...
Thanks!

Re: My Pinzgauer 712 - unknown model variant
I did not know Austria had a Rapier version of their Pinzgauers, and for whatever it's worth, wikipedia does not list Austria as an operator of the Rapier missile system...
Oman definitely is/was an operator, though.

Re: Heated seats
I have Smart seats (the 450 version), too. Much better comfort and no complaints for headroom or legroom (long-legged 6'2", so I pushed the Smart seat a bit further from the steering wheel than the original seat). They are heavier and more cumbersome than the originals of course, but my bum and...

About the color, I think the whole point of buying one like this is to stand out and be seen, so bright yellow is a good choice from a marketing point of view, IMHO.

Hi Yano, Welcome to the forum and good luck with the upcoming move and with your search for a Volvo! :D One thing that comes to mind: if you buy in Europe and move to the US immediately after, be careful with tax issues. I don't know how it goes exactly for EU to US moves, but for moves between EU c...

Just read your mention of a simplified front bumper, and from the picture that you post, the side portions of the bumper have been almost entirely deleted. Please just keep in mind that this bumper is almost your only protection in case of front impact... There is not much passenger impact protectio...

Bonjour Cyril!
Welcome! Glad to see a fellow French-speaker on the forum! This forum is a lot more active than the french language one (I am "Jan_GE" over there), with really helpful members, you won't regret getting "out of the shadows".
