Greetings from Romania

Post by Adriann »

Hello everyone!

My name is Adrian and I'm the proud owner of a '89 :340: bought by my friends from Volvo-Club Romania. I previously owned a 440 but because of some serious financial problems I had to sell it. The guys helped me out by getting this nice car for me.
It has a 1.4 engine with a Dacia carburator(for lower fuel consumption).
Except some problems with the body, especially the hood, the dashboard lights are not working and the speedometer cable is broken the car works like a charm.
Cheers!

Hello Adrian, lovely part of the world you come from! The weather in your pictures looks about right for this time of year, just like I experienced in Belgrade last week.

Nice to see 300s being valued and looked after in other parts of Europe!

:340: :360:
7.52pm: I'm jealous. I really wish that I was a) a Fulham fan; and b) at Craven Cottage. What a night for them. The players are still on the pitch, loving it.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.
Now the weather is worse. It snowed all night... pretty weird for this time of the year.
@alf: I think I might know you. Did you had rock1 radio?

Cheers Alf :-) Isn't Pitesti where the Dacias are assembled?

We've just come back from 5 days in Tirgu Mures (TM), and even spotted a Volvo 340 Diesel, I wonder if it's from anyone on here?

... a Dacia Sandero 1.6 (87PS) of Top Gear fame. I have to admit, I rather liked it :oops: A very unpretentious car.
