Token`s 343 GL

Post by token » 26 Oct 2008 11:29 pm

Hello everybody! My name is David and I am from Slovenia, about month ago I bought this 343 GL, it is stock but I have already get some 6x14" aluminium wheels. I will fit them when winter ends. :)

I must say that I was surprised when I saw how many people likes this car, this forum is very useful and good! 8)

p.s. my english is not so good :)

regards

Welcome mate, your English is absolutely fine so don't worry about that. Every european member seems to worry about the standard of their English, but some of the people I talk to in real life are a lot worse :lol:

Your car looks to be in really good condition!

Hi mate.
Your english is spot on. The front and rear bumpers on your car look fantastic. I would like them for mine.
P S. How did your football team manage to prevent David Healy from scoring and beat us in a world cup quailifirer?
Good luck Mark.

thanks for wellcome...

@nomead: :D would you like to buy them?

@MCHUDD: the bumpers are nice, but I must repair them, because they are broken at the both sides on that plastic pieces,...owner before me was an old man with no sense for driving car :roll:
I don`t know how they beat your team, i think it was just a bad day for your team and lucky for us. If i am honest I didn`t watch that game so it is hard to say which team was better :)

if someone wants a really good 340 and the distance isn`t problem for you, than look at this one 8) http://www.avto.net/2004/osebna/oglas.asp?id=2319153

Yeah, why not, but the freight / postage would probably kill me! But still, small picture, looks like you even have the small dustcaps for the centre hole of the rim...

Nice Mk2, the chrome on the bumpers of the 82-83 model is so much better than the later ones!

Hi token,
This is the first time ive noticed your thread and I must say the car looks magnificent!

And the hills youve been running round look a bit like southern england at the moment.
We've had a bit of snow recently too. Good RWD weather. But cold!
