evening all

Post by Logan360 »

Hello to everyone on this volvo forum :D i am new here but not new to volvo, cars or especially 360's. my names Logan, 20 years, a rather varied car history for my years.
owned
1984 Toyota corona. re it for
1986 white 360GLT (still have)
also have owned
1986 blue 360GL hatch
1989 green 360GLT
1992 Nissan skyline (still have)
1986 grey 360GLT (scrapped)
1987 white 360GLT (daily driver)
1996 volvo 850R in black (still have)

so have had a few cars in my 4 years of being able to drive over here in little New Zealand

as you could probably tell 360GLT's are the more common but yet still rare 300 series here.

how do i afford all these? 3 jobs which keep me busy while these cars keep me broke :lol:

so that's my quick intro, I'm also a member of volvoforums UK.

ciao for naow

Is this forum number 3 I'm on in which i can't upload straight to it? cause I've tried a couple host sites but I'm doing everything off cellphone so it takes just ages. and it doesn't work. last time i just put up a link to my Facebook page which didn't really work too well.

Hi mate and welcome.
Nice 360 you have there. Also love that early 240.
I have a few relitives out there in NZ but have never been myself.
Cheers Mark.

Yep, the album link works fine now.

We can always revel in the joys of the six-monthly WOF.

Only after 6 years old its 6 months but keeps the cars up to scratch unless like 20% of cars on the road are running around with no wof (mot) but we don't have much ANPR here so its fine :D but yea that green one was my 89 parts car that went to breakers a while ago. it was o in that state when i got it believe me. i have not paid over $600 for a 360 which equates to a maxof around 250 squids your money. That one was only $360 (£180).
