340 Taxi...

A colleague posted me a link to a picture of one, https://picasaweb.google.com/113525715760559900783/Taksiautoja?authuser=0&feat=directlink&gsessionid=SQcr0qqIirdwSJGjOLaUZA#5594526559529944018 Now, as much as I like 300s, I'm not sure I'd like to drive one of those for a 10-12 hour taxi shift.

Re: Early Side Stripe Pre-Order gauge. please read.

Yay! Even though I don't have an early 343, these would look hot even on a 340 :D

This (second) time around I was driving a red Volvo S40 with Finnish plates, though that is still quite inconspicuous in the busy traffic.

Re: Not many 300's anymore in the Netherlands?

Well... although it was a mk1, the rear had the newer style lettering for "343". And now I checked the page

http://volvo.atroszko.pl/

Re: Not many 300's anymore in the Netherlands?

Bump! Yesterday I had a short peep through the Netherlands (was actually headed for Antwerpen). Crossed the German/Dutch border at about 15:40, and a short time after that I saw a yellow 343 on the road (A67 I think). I remarked to my wife, this is what we missed on the last trip, a 300-series Volvo...

Not many 300's anymore in the Netherlands?

I went for a short visit in the Netherlands recently. Five days in a rental Ford Fiesta :roll: . I tried to keep my eyes open and saw all kinds of nice classic cars among the daily runners. Several Volvo Amazons, even one P1800. Too many 200-series to count, although the car population in general wa...

But whatever you do, DO NOT over tighten, however much you may be tempted to do that! You'll only strip the threads.

Re: 300 parts still available at Volvo

Well... that PSA part that I have has a PCD of 50 mm so it's not an exact match, because the Metro one had 48 mm according to the information in that auction.
