Volvo Andes meeting Chile / Argentina

[volvero]

We had yesterday our anual meeting in Hotel Portillo in the Andes mountains in Chile with the very special guest Claes Rydholm, Senior Manager of Volvo Cars Heritage Goteborg. I offered him to drive my 123GT and he instantly said yes. He is a very skilled driver....

Some pictures:

The departure from the Volvo dealer, even the swedish ambassador came to the event:
