Frans still remembers the day he, a young adventurer with an indomitable urge for the horizon, took delivery of his Volvo V70 D5. It was 2010, and the youngtimer had “only” 170.000 kilometers on the counter…
What is this recurring nonsense with 'babes' and motorcycles? There are even special sections in the media about your brand while roaming around in media land. Young, and dressed very unsafely and in any case near…
