Nope, not had that problem at all. When I was young and too young to give a monkeys, I used to travel around in a 144. Later I used to travel around, then spent a short while learning in a 240 estate (ultimately getting it as a hand-me-down when it was surplus to requirements). 340s are just an evolution of my DAF habit, which originates from my days in the back of the family's 55 Coupe (which was a car or two after the 144. Somewhere between the '66 Riley 4/72 and the '79 Transit Minibus.)

I'm not all that fond of WWD Volvos though. :|

Well sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. I've driven a couple of wrong* wheel drive cars that do it well.
