Several Saints say,

The only Saint I know is Simon Templar and he doesn't ride a bicycle -
at least I have never seen him ride one.
And Simon was able to speak English.

And probably fluent in several others, I would say. He is, after all,

The Saint.

Yeah, but he drives a Volvo.

Dunno what he drives, matey I am probably wrong but as far as I know,
Volvo is now a good Chinese car company, ain't it?

On another note, here is a joke I heard from the days when Saab and
Volvo were two separate companies. Saab used to make jet fighter planes
(they probably still do but I am too lazy to find out). The joke goes,
"The fastest Saab in the world uses a Volvo engine" Apparently, the
Swedish Government, in their wisdom, decided that it would not be a good
idea to put all their eggs into one basket, and so forced Saab to allow
Volvo to supply the engines for Saab jet fighters. I have no idea if
this is true but from the Volvo propaganda ... eeerrrr... schematics I
saw, it does appear that Volvo DID supply some engines for Saab jet
fighters. Anyway, it's a joke so who cares if it true or not I don't
- I ride a bicycle

Personally, I would probably be more interested if Volvo made bicycles,
like McLaren, Ferrari, Porsche, et al.
