Elderly gent with a broken 1/4 window

Post by Ian Mac » 22 Mar 2011 02:13 pm

A couple of days ago I was stopped at the petrol station by an elderly(ish) gent with a 340 which he's owned for the last 22 years and some lowlife has smashed one of the rear door 1/4 windows. He's had no luck sourcing a replacement window and asked if I could help. I suggested he introduce himself on here but he's not internet friendly apparently. He said he'd ask his daughter to do it for him so if she appears on here perhaps someone can try and look after her please. She lives in Dudley so she's obviously an ok sort of person. Like me... :wink:

No Volvo 340 at present.
