Addition to the stable.

New shopping and towing car for the missus.

Is your missus so big she needs towing??

[embarrassed mode] thought that was actually quite funny...[/embarrassed mode]

Back on topic though - these things are not usually my cup of tea but I did a golf trip to Northern Ireland in one of these last year and it was bloody comfy and swallowed a vast amount of gear in addition to 4 middle aged hackers. If I had to have a big beast it would probably be one of these !

By definition jokes are funny.

Apologies, an overly harsh comment.

This place used to be about sharp comments and helpful info though.

[AndyBe]

Not really my cup of tea either. But since it's for the missus, and it's main job is to pull a horse box (which she does just about every week), and we're in the middle of the country, in Sweden - then they make perfect sense.
I drove it for the first time today - 200 miles. 4king excellent - felt like I'd driven 20 miles. It's got the Volvo premium sound system - which I have to say is really rather good.

I doubt there is a joke invented that EVERYONE finds funny. As long as one person did, my job is done.

I like the Volvo, JC raves about it, got a couple of pals who have recently acquired one, smooth, refined, comfortable and safe

It would have been funny if you had put, "you missus needs towing?" but the way you put it comes across as been offensive. nice car btw.

And here's the XC in it's natural Swedish habitat.

Both are funny IMO but of the two AlexE46 is the funniest and yours is the most offensive especially to me and my missus who are both not so big (so rules out AlexE46's joke) but are fat so are offended by your alternative

You've caused us to comfort eat now - if we had a camera with a wide angle lens I'd post a photo to prove it

(for those that don't know us we really are short and fat but old enough to accept it and not be in denial or offended by jokes suggesting that we're even fatter than we are, as I tell people you have to be young and slim to get into the cars we've got !)
