Ferrari no thanks

Post by bogbasic » 22 Aug 2010 09:36 pm

All of a sudden, at the great auction house of the internet, if you clearly type in 'Volvo 360' you get lots of hits for Ferrari's, if you please. If I was someone who wished to drive a car that made the noise of about 40 volvos, just to go at 40 mph, I might be interested, but I am not.
1988 340 1.4 GL, 218k, 5 door (Grey Bess). Gone to CBA.
1991 340 1.7 GL, 64k, 5 door, petrol blue (Deep Blue).
1988 360 2.0 GLE, 140k, 5 door, ocean blue metallic (Blue Bess).
1989 340 1.7 GL, 108k, 3 door (Red Ness).

It has always been that lesser models need more advertising to compete with truly good models :lol:
