Re: The Family! [we need your pictures!!]
Hi everyone....so here is my vovlos' pics ....
the first lady : the 340 GL with 1.7 Renault based motor ... i had it from a friend....i drive it from France to Africa in 2004
In my Place in the snow

Setting for african roads (no road at some moment but....thats the way you know ...)

On the Malian track

Into the saharan desert with some road-friends

At night-road-break

I drive it for 8000 Km ..... the only problem i had was a tire that explosed arrived in Bamako .
I selt it in Bamako....and it is still running nowadays...(i think)
Then i got back to France by plane....but did not stay arround...have to move but never without my volvo.
So i found a old 940 GL.....and send it to Réunion's island (into indian ocean)
A pic at the base of the volcano....

I sell it over there to a volvo passionate taxi driver....and it is still running.
Then i got back to France.....and buy a 850Tdi....

Nice car but was not for me....to many electronical stuff
So Last days i found a 360 GLT and i am working on it .... basically no hard work

tires, locking doors, front suspension, air filter, .... just want it to run properly.
And if i have some time....maybe i'll go for a total body paint....just to make it looks nicer.
well here it is.....hope you enjoy the pics.
Cheers
Vince

Hi, Ive been a member and owner for about a month now, and causing a little havoc into the bargain!
Ive got a 1989 340 with a B14, very soft a bouncy compared to my daily jap!
I was encouraged to buy it rather than a Skoda Felicia by V40 driving mate, who's now borrowed it as his fly wheel is falling apart. So you could say Im sharing the good old
fun!
Ive got loads of plans for tuning and I'll get some better photos as I get though the list!
