Oh my, how much did you get for it out of interest?

And more importantly, does this mean you're back in the 300 owners circle?

Get the Volvo now!

Can't grumble at that.

If it's any good, may I suggest a pair of these* sir? (My theory being as long as you wear gloves and don't touch it with your bare hands, it might not turn to shit)



(*In looking for a pair of knit-back driving gloves, I found the above. Co-incidentally EXACTLY the same brand/packaging as a pair I bought in 1992 from the local Co-op menswear where I used to work one summer. If fact I'm gonna order a replacement pair as said gloves have rather deteriorated since. Cheers )

Hope that helps.

Kind of.
I sold it this morning.

Thanks very much for the lengthy reply Pettaw. That's information that I'm sure will come in handy to many. I'll bookmark it so it's easy to find.

That did make me laugh.

@macplaxton: I always wear proffesional driving gloves. All us racing style drivers do.

@Sven: yeah, it was quite funny but I fealt a right dick after pettaw did such a comprehensive and helpful post.

Congrats from best possible solution to issue, poor bastard that who made a mistake of his life and get it off from your hands

So soon you will be once again be much more 300 maniac than for example I, even I still have same and only 300 that I have always had, it has not been on road probably for single moment when VND has had 300 or some alternative transportation crap for that matter.

Say when you had your first 300? Mine was on road briefly at 2007 last time, but mostly has been off road from 2005, was small moment on road at 2006 and 2007, but after 2007 it has not been on road at all.

I got my first 340 (the one that died on fire) in late 2007.
Since then Ive had:

A Morris Oxford.
A Reliant Scimitar.
A Mk2 340 GL.
A MK3 360 GLT.
A Ford Fiesta 1.4 16V
A MK3 360 GLE.
A Peugeot 406.
A MK3 340 Vario.
A Volvo 740 2lt Carb.
And a Carvalier 1.7 TD.
And now back to a 300 hopefully.

Not bad for three and a bit years really!!

There goes theory of antimidas, or was it best of the bunch?

That is really quite many vehicles for such short time, hopefully next is 300 and good one, as now you understand why you never should sell one

That was the worst of the lot. It was a V6 on twin 45s and I bought it blind and shipped it 200 miles north at quite a cost.
All the brakes were shot, and it was slower, and braked worse than the Morris Oxford. The drivers seat was also collapsed. I sent it back on a wagon and spoke harshly at the seller untill I got a refund and 50% of the shipping.

Dont buy cars blind kids!

looks cool though. I don't remember your first 300 catching fire, what happened?

It mysteriously caught fire.
Then got very wet.
From the firemen.
