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...

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.

It seems 360s are going for silly little money at the moment!

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!
