Do you know that...

Post by Duvel78 » 24 Aug 2008 02:35 pm

...there is somewhere in Belgium (Brussels) a storage place where 6 Volvos 300 are sleeping? :D It's the V3M storage place :D

second line: grey '83 360 GLT / blue '84 340 GL (donor car)

You should have said; "..there is somewhere in Belgium (in a secret location)..." :lol:

Nice collection you have there :)

That's a nice collection you have coming along there. All you need now to make it complete is a Mk1. Maybe also a 1.7 (a nice Redline for example) or an "original" tuning car (R-Sport, Hör, Haas, Theis, Duvedec)?

BTW who has the most 300's on this forum? Duvel78? retrocool73? Or maybe classicswede, foggyjames or filthyjohn?

Thought Pete had 5? I'm down from 5 to 3 now, and I don't miss either of the scrapped ones (though maybe that's because a lot of their parts are on shelves in the unit).

That would involved him scrapping some! Not likely ;)

Lovely collection!

Nice collection Aymat, they are an addictive habit! I only have 6 300's currently, I had to scrap two, and I've not added a 300 to the collection for a while, added 8's and 9's though, sticking in the Volvo theme. I have got the opportunity of a couple more, which I will probably get pretty soon. Technically I have 7 I suppose as I am in charge of my Grandmother's 340, which once I've sorted a couple of things and got it MOT'd it will have to be sold sadly.
