That is a bloody cheek.. I'm suprised you've left it on the car still, if it we're me it would be coming off before I left the MOT centre you went to!

You don't even want to hear how much my GLT cost... :D Well cars are too expensive here anyhow. Taxing for used car is still too high even though they lowered it a bit... Normal GLT's in good condition with no rust costs about 600-1000 euros here. Or more.. It's insane. Should be like in Sweden, no taxing for used cars at all.

There have been some really cheap ones down here, I saw one go for under £100 the other day, perfect condition, electric everything, low mileage - a real shame!

Here's mine (at my house now). I've been cleaning it all morning, got most of the moss and dirt off it, just some T-cutting to do and polishing now. I've also taken the sticker off the back window which I had put on to advertise my website, but plan to get a volvo300mania.com one on there at some point!
