Been out for a drive from Doncaster to Holmfirth today in the 360, spotted a white rusty 5 door E reg parked up somewhere near Homfirth. Back near home spotted an immaculate grey metallic 5 door 1.7 I see regularly around town. It's the almost the twin to mine (except mines 3 door and off road). I know where there's a red saloon 1.7 (off road, sun tarnished and gathering spiders webs :) ). Also know of two gold 360 GLS's. One is a B reg, in tidy condition driven by an old lady driver (seen twice) and the other a scrap car in an industrial yard. Finally my parents D reg vario in lovely burgundy :? . No photos yet but only just found this thread!

Oh dear :lol:

Well first you need to upload them, go over to photobucket and set up an account. Then upload the pictures and grab the "direct link" from underneath the picture in your album.

I know, it must take years to get it too look like that! :lol: Would be great to get it running and drive it as it is :lol:
There's another black 5 door behind, might be a GLT but not looked properly yet. I've heard that they work on volvo's there, maybe someone on the forum already? Your car anyone?

Interesting pics! I think the owner of that gold car (can see a black GLT in the background too) wants rid of them both, he posted an ad up on the VOC website a while back
