Must dig out a picture of my first car. Ancient left hand drive 2CV imported from France. The words 'shed' and 'nail' spring to mind. Since then, it's been 340s all the way

Yes please!

Have there been any that you would consider to be a two-wheeled equivalent of the 300. i.e., cheap, reliable fun with a good dollop of character?

Post by **340GLT** » 14 Dec 2005 11:11 am

Right my very short list is

1) Volvo 340DL 1.4
2) Volvo 340GL Blueline 1.7

340's all the way people!!!

1995 FIAT Uno (Mambo)
1970 Volkswagen Beetle (Still Got)

1987 Volvo 340 GL (Still Got)
1987 Volvo 360 GL (on a farm now)
1989 Volvo 360 GLT (Still Got)
1991 Volvo 940 GL (Still Got)

Oo I am running out of space in my garage

Post by **ebdl** » 14 Dec 2005 11:34 am

Oh alright, here goes:

1991 Citroen AX 1.0 Debut (1st car)
1994 Citroen Xantia 1.8i
???? Citroen 2CV racing car
???? Citroen 2CV racing car (after I rolled the first one)
1983 Citroen 2CV Club
1986 Citroen 2CV Special
1987 Citroen 2CV Special
1982 VW T25 Autosleeper (with Ford Pinto power)
1977 Fiat X1/9 1300
1985 VW Polo C 1.0
1989 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 Laredo (in the USA)
1989 VW Scirocco GT 1.8
1998 Alfa Romeo 145 Junior Twin Spark 1.6i
1996 Volvo 440 LE 1.8i
1995 Volvo 850 T-5 GLE estate (still have it)
1983 Volvo 340 GL Vario 3dr (still have it)

I think that averages at 2/year since I started driving, although plenty of them were owned simultaneously. Next I need a classic rally car, for clubman's events. I'm thinking Saab 95/96 or Amazon.

Cheers, Ed

Any boats, planes or trains that you may have owned Mick?

Post by **990** » 14 Dec 2005 01:04 pm

I used to have a part share in an Avro Vulcan - does that count?

also I had access to a Leyland Atlantean Double Decker - 1976 if we are going off cars
