Ah I saw that :D

It was on ITV last night on a program called 'Deathrace: 2007' presented by the fop Quentin Wilson.

Have to admit, it wasn't exactly the worst driving (read practice drifting) but to hear Volvo and Boy Racer in the same sentence was more than laughable.

it actually looked a bit like this one on ebay a while ago:

That was an old forum member in in his ultra modded 340 - first guy to seriously drift prepare a 300. Unfortiunately he stacked it. Can't say that footage impressed me as being particularly dangerous...

nameless... as in... Neville Payne, manager of F1 Moto, purveyors of all your Volvo 300 drift car needs?

We are talking about the same car, right?
