Hi all, my name is Tom, I own a 2004 astrvan sportive which is heavily modified and i also have a Volvo 340 1.4 5 door 4-speed. 1989 G-reg, I have bought a rear spoiler for it and some lowering kit. It will be on the road shortly as my daily driver/drifter :D

It is blue (non metallic) with 30k miles from new and one vicar owner. Pics will follow. Anybody else from gloucester?

Cheers

The best type of one owner car!

The only other one local to me is also owned by a vicar (or at least his wife I think)

At least you know it's not haunted :lol:

The car looks tidy, and very low mileage :shock:

Cheers for the warm welcome guys :D

I've got a few parts in the month or 2 i've had it

-full set of deep floor mats
-dials with rev counter
-Boot Spoiler
-Dash Clock (it had dial mounted clock by speedo)
-Cigarette lighter (it didn't have one) (not a smoker but charge phone etc)

Also looking at a set of Kia 14" Alloys (they don't look to bad tbh)....More new pics to follow possibly the weekend. Plans are-

-spray grill black

Cheers again for the welcome guys!

Yeah don't worry guys i'm not into big bodykits and lexus lights and the such haha.

I've ordered 2" lowering blocks, next will be springs and landrover shocks. Then a nice set of wheels. I have the spoiler from a GLT to fit and then i will be fitting a few subtle stickers. that will be about all for the outside. other than tinted headlights and custom front grill :D

I recommend Landy dampers over shagged out OE stuff! :lol:

Hi btw mate! I would say the usual craic of 'welcome to the mad house' or similar, but it's really quite reserved on here. Think I have only ever had one argument lol. (been reg'd longer than this account). 340pw
