I can see "Volvo" 8x times from the drivers' seat

Post by trabitom99 »

There's a stretch of road from Brussels to Ostend which is long and straight, and has road signs saying "90kph - SMOG". While driving at a steady 56 mph through the crisp smog-free air, the family snoring away, I started counting the "Volvo" emblems to keep me awake.

Can anyone top this? I counted 8 emblems:

1x steering wheel
1x rev counter
1x where the vaccuum recirc & the air con switch should be
1x radio
2x front loudspeakers
2x floor mats
====
8x "Volvo"

Anyone bored enought to beat that? ;-)

You're right, checking the Volvo badge on the passenger-side floor mat was a bit tricky. ;-)
