I've been very diligent with each car I've owned, keeping all records in an organized volume. The R has exceeded my past volumes, earning Tome status (per Merriam-Webster: book ; especially : a large or scholarly book) in this 3" binder.<br>It contains everything from day one when I thought about buying this model: <br>-Volvo lit including 2006 R sales brochure<br>-my progressively changing mod list<br>-all service invoices and records<br>-all modification receipts and instructions<br>-VR articles and selected web threads<br>-misc, including anything else.<br>This is a valuable guide for me to see how my car has gradually changed. (I would use the word evolve, but that evokes reaction in some).<br><IMG SRC="http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s212/b5v2000/09April17083.jpg" BORDER="0"><br><IMG SRC="http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s212/b5v2000/09April17085.jpg" BORDER="0"><p>Anyone else being ass retentive as me?<br>Scott<br>

 

[Hi Alt R]

I thought I was pretty much on the ball keeping my stuff in a hanging folder. Man I need to get with it! Sapphacama - great contraction.

That is, FREAKIN SICK!<p>I think that's really cool! If I bought my car new, i'd definitely do that.

Your CD's aren't in alphabetical order are they???<p>JK, great idea, and probably fun to look threw. I have a similar setup but instead of a binder its all in a file cabinet.

Nice work!<p>I also keep all of my V70R docs since new in a 3-ring binder, but it is a puny 1" size... without any mods, the paperwork doesn't accumulate so quickly.
