Newbie with the 360

Post by Stealth » 24 Aug 2009 09:13 pm

Hello,
Well, after buying the 360 off volvosneverdie yesterday I thought it would do no harm to join Volvo 300 Mania.
I have always been a fan of older cars and I have had quite a few, but never kept them long as MOT/TAX & money all seem to come in the wrong order :lol:
I had a Renault 5 GTS up until a couple of weeks ago, I would have liked to have kept it, but it was just getting a bit too much on the body side (rust).
I enjoyed the drive south yesterday (even the road works on the A1 :? ) but maybe not the rain on top of the M62.
Anyway, most of you have seen the car before, but here it is in my drive.
I did read that they were not the quietest engines from 1st gear (setting off) and it was quite a shock compaired to the old french tin Renault 5, but it's nice when it gets going.
From what I gather, thanks must go to some of the N/E members for the work on the car sm4
