One suspects someone has been making 'bump' accounts..unless there's been a surge of interest in the 300 series... :lol:

Yeah, thought I'd join in. Been reading the forum on and off for a bit though. Now if only I could find what I was going to reply to...

'fraid I don't push the age extremities, since I'm 23. It's a fairly familiar story, though. My mum bought our volvo off a friend when I was 10, then it became sorta mine, now it's all mine :)

The only thing is not only is my car mocked by others, it's also mocked by volvo 300 owners too---it's both the unreliable 1.7l engine and a (apparently) ugly saloon.

It's not doing too badly though. It's been through all the carburrettor problems and works, and has the oil-in-the-distributor-cap problems, but not that badly. The only thing is it's slowly going from metallic-green to rust brown. :( I haven't a clue how many miles I've done, but I've gone through 3 speedo's if that gives you a clue! :/ The clock went over to 160 000 miles last month, I don't think it's too far wrong, but it is mostly just guessing...
