I loved your story, and that you were smart enough to have what you needed to repair this on the road.

It reminded me of a non-Volvo story. I was driving my mom's 1972 Caddy with a huge V8, and the water pump belt broke. I had recently read about using stockings to replace a v-belt. I explained to my mom, and she reluctantly surrendered BOTH her "shorty" stockings. She was unhappy when I demanded the 2nd one, due to the length.

I tied them together, and wrapped as tightly as I could. Sure enough, we made it home (only 5 miles, but still it was a hot day and my mom was in her 70's).

Hadn't thought of that story in years... (:
