On Saturday 11th December 2004 Geoff Bessant and Gareth Tilleke paid a visit to Tylney Hall in Hamsphire to spend a day with Volvo Cars UK driving a few of their cars as part of the Freedom Test Drive Programme. We had booked to drive a V50 T5 Auto at 11:30 and a XC90 D5 Auto at 13:00. We arrived early and ended up driving 7 different cars and also had ride with a professional Volvo driver in an S60 who demonstrated Volvo's Four-C Chassis and DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction control). The total on the road cost of the cars driven is approximately £206,500 ! ! ! Car of the day: Geoff - V50 T5 Auto & Gareth - XC90 T6 Auto.
Finally, the weather condtions were bad - very foggy which did limit the extent of our test drives - however we both had a great day out, so thank you Volvo who really did look after us so well.
