Further to my topic re redlines and blulines etc, just wondered what ratio of bodyshells are on the forum i.e. we have just over 200 members now so how many saloons, how many five door hatches and how many three door hatches do we have between us ( yeah Pete we know you have at least two of each LOL ) mine is a five door hatch

Interesting figures...
Explains why there's hardly any saloons about though!

thanks for the figures Hugh ,your a star, as I thought the saloons only made up just over 10 % of the total hence the reason there are comparatively so few left , now when we get the figures in from the V3M members we will have to see how much of a percentage of the members cars are saloons compared to hatches , I bet its lower than 10%

we've had 2x5 doors and there's a saloon (that may have a body kit, I'll have to go look!) parked up not far away

knowing volvo It was probably for better load accessability ( and knowing volvo they probably invented the word accessability )
