Just a quick hello . Sort of stumbled upon this site as i am a mate of FilthyJohn (hi mate, Chris here ). Dont currently have a 300 series, but my mam has a 3 door 1986 340DL variomatic, in that faded light blue . 'Josephine' hasnt seen daylight for around 10 years , this was thanks to a main stealer messing up the gearbox, my mam buying a replacement car (citroen bx), then the dealer fixing the problem. But my mam decided to use the replacement instead. Anyway, my current list of vehicles consists of a 1983 Porsche 924, 1979 Fiat campervan, 1994 Fiat panda selecta, and a 2000 Fiat fiorino. Will be keeping the Porsche for six months then will be thinking of a 340 1.7

Yalrite man.
nice to see you.

and welcome to the wonderfull world of V3M.
less bollox than RR, more fun than the VOC.
We've got it all.

Good news youre hunting a 300 man (eventually).
there seems to be a lot around, and prices are pushing an all time low.

Invest dude.
the time is now.

Welcome, Chris. The 924's a damn' fine car, transaxle 'n all. Enjoy it, sir

Is that why she hasn't driven the car?

this looks very similar to the car 'Josephine', even the same colour ...

Oooh, a three door.
You cant let that languish in the dark dude.

Drag it oot!

Hi Chris , thought I recognised the name from retro rides , welcome aboard

People of V3M, please help me to convince Chris to give his mam the panda and drive the 340! He'll be so much happier.

Chris, ive just recieved an important telex (yes thats correct, a telex. theyre scientific.) from The World Leauge Of Eminent Scientists And High Level Intelectual Thinkers.
I wont confuse you with the technical mumbo jumbo, but the gist of it is basicly as follows:

...Research complete......
..10 years of riggerous trials have bourne fruit..
.results, as expected.
...tests in every area confirm Conclusion beyond doubt...

...Conclusion as follows:...

.Please stand by.

Volvo 300s are better than Fiat Pandas.

But thats straight form the top.
