Ouch.

I don't think a 340 is meant to be that shape.

I don't think thats a 300 :?

I'm probably wrong as per usual, but the boot doesn't look quite right, and i don't recognise the wheels as standard 300 ones well, not ones i've seen before.

Possibly a Brazilian special, looks like a Mk1 Passat front end?

No, I don't think it's a 340, no boot and rear window post is too thin? Does like one though!

Almost then. I thought it wasn't a 340, then convinced myself it was a "foreign version". The wheels looked right anyway.

Dam my internet connection!

Was just writing a thread saying how for once i wasn't wrong and was retracting my statement to say it's certainly not a 300, but i've been beaten to it.

I can't do proper link things, but have a look at some of these, i quite like the shape and they do look tough slammed! The Brazilians know how to do it properly, therefore i like Brazilians :lol:



Very much feeling this one:
