Hehe..indeed..Not sure about alloys, though. I'd rather have a 300 worthy of them! My humble 340 deserves only the wheels it was bestowed with! :D

Jeez, just get a set of wide 14" steels from a 400 - those are shocking!

cheers

Hahahaa....here's some edited footage of me and my mates pratting around in our cars..it was all filmed in my mate's Corsa so the only car really featured in the film is my trusty 340!

Worth a watch! By the way, for mechanics, watch the bit after my mate stops talking about the Madness soundtrack and listen when I pull away...is my exhaust manifold going?

Clearly it was shot at night... but I saw 2 moons rising at the end of the film... that's one to many... :roll:

Cheers for sharing that Tom! Where have you been lately? Not noticed you about on here! That 340 is the only real car there, they've yet to learn! Not been converted obviously!

Gahhh..forgot about that! Anyone offended by coarse language will probably be best off stopping it round about the time it says 'And Now A Word From One Of Our Drivers'. Whilst the comment is true I could probably have re-phrased it in a less offensive manner!

Pete..I've not really had anything to post about recently! Volvo's been fine for the past few weeks and I've not seen anything remotely interesting...I've been checking the forums more or less daily though, so I've not abandoned it all yet! :)

EDIT: Crikey..just noticed my boxer shorts were very visible upon my exiting of the Corsa..cripes!
