My Volvo 300 gallery (Czech Rep.) - 11/2006 unitl 03/2008

Post by Kingfisher » 17 Mar 2008 06:51 pm

Hi Volvo 300 lovers !! :)

Finally i put together the every photo of 300 Volvos i shot between November 2006 unitl now. Mostly of them in Prague. There are few more cars in our country, which i didn´t photographed. I saw about 20 more of them on our roads, but it was impossible to take a picture of them for various reasons :( . No camera, met them on the road etc. Quality is various. Depends on camera which was with me - standard Canon camera, or Nokia Cellphone 1,3 megapixels. Hope you will like it.. :roll: ..

Gallery (about 15 cars, one of them is shot in Bratislava, SK):

I forgot.. the hatchback on the parking lot is the same as one the in gallery (photographed with mine 360).. first i met it at the parking lot (400meters from my home) and 5 months later i found it few kilometers from this parking lot...

You're a car stalker! :P Afraid to admit I have a habit of doing that if I see another 300 about ;)

some stories..

Post by Kingfisher » 18 Mar 2008 01:32 pm

Two weeks ago i met a white 360 which was one of the last ones. Bumpers in color and it was in realy nice condition. Ive never seen 360 like that was in our country. Also i saw a red GLT one year ago, the sport version which was produced at the end of production of 300s (this one: http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/8291/v360gltzxn3.jpg )..
with this i have a little story: http://kingfisher.rajce.idnes.cz/Volvo_ ... green1.jpg
one older man have it, and he said, that on behalf of communism, someone envy his volvo and stabbed a screwdriver in front window and covered whole car with engine oil.. or when he was in croatia on vacation and some guys tried to steal it by loading it onto truck.. fate wills it that this 360 is still with him after these years and problems.
