Is it me, or is V3M not that active as before?

Chris the boffin once told me all things powered by electrickery are actually powered by smoke and once it escapes it's bust.

I fear he may be correct.

Holey moley.

Most of the internet types interested in 300's will be found on Driftworks and TrampD too I would imagine.

In my case that's mostly what has killed my interest in writing as every other topic is about same stuff. Valvers, Land Rover shocks, stripping the interior etc... scrapping the shell after hitting some curb.. Variation in building and maintaining 300-series has declined here even though the total interest among 300-series has risen. That's one reason why I have found 300power.com and couple Finnish Volvo forums more interesting lately.

Of course I can't blame anyone, I should write something interesting my self as the forum is a sum of it's members..

I think it is as someone previously mentioned that as a lot of us aren't driving 300's everyday there aren't as many general day to day problems that come up, also alot of the main members were also students (I was at the time!) so had plenty of free time to be buggering about with cars.... unfortunately that's no longer the case

The focus does seem to have moved away from people just running their car as a cheap daily runabout. I'm one of the hardy few still using my 300 every day, but for how much longer? Another year or two at the most?

I used to read just about every post on V3M, but have got a little more picky of late Free time is an issue, and I've got next to none of that ATM

Well, it looks like times change insn't it? But its good to see a couple of pages filled with reactions in a few days.

Indeed Trambitom, I gues its a few more years, and the most V300 are really disapeared from the roads, specially daily drivers. I drive a lot of miles each day, but I dont (in fact) see any car older than 10 years on the road. Did anyone say crisis? crazy people..

People laugh at me, driving my 26 year old 360 GLS daily for 220 km's a day. But in fact, I'm the one who is laughing.
