Lol, you know it's worrying when I think of a comment, then scroll down and Mick's written it!
I wish I could grow a beard like that, I did try a couple of times while being at uni! So V3M beard comp is narrowed down to Mac, Will and Thyzer then
Ditto comments on that workshope Mac, I'm getting there slowly, have some of the contents, just not the nice big building!

Good stuff Dave, looks good! Enjoying the 2.0 litre goodness? Yeah, my old GLT had a habit of doing that with the rear n/s rear door occassionally, which meant you had to always check, but it did cure itself in the end and became very reliable indeed, might have been when a mate slammed it in a fit of rage one day that sorted it out! *Disclaimer* I'm not suggesting abusing the door or using for aiding stress relief!

Hi,
I've been reading this forum for a few weeks now and I finally decided to register, and this reply shall have the questionable honour of being my first post. My (first and only) vehicle of the day is (obviously) a Volvo, 360 GL to be exact. Gotta love the torque on low rpm with this carb.

Oh yeah, and this thing was made in the Netherlands anno domini 1989.
And now on to business:
The second one was made to be a desktop wallpaper.
