Swedish lesson. 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Ken Granath on  Thu Dec 13 13:17 CST 2001 [RELATED]



Sorry David. The "V" IS for versatility. The Swedish word for Wagon

is actually "COMBI". Vagn is short for Vagen which means Road or Way.

Used in a sentence, "Bast bil pa vagn!" ( Best car on the road! ).

Of course, VAGEN is not spelled with an "a", but with an "a" with two

dots over it.( this PC is not set up for the Swedish alphabet ).

The word "bil" means CAR in Swedish, taken from the French name automoBIL.

And lastly, VOLVO is a latin root word for "I roll", as used in the

words "revolution", "revolving", etc.

Happy motoring!

1995 850 turbo w/ IPD/TME Motronic upgrade, IPD anti-sway bars, springs

and Bilsteins. Volvo strut brace, 16x7.5" Borbet type S, Sumitomo HTRZ2.
