Ha ha. nice. I do exactly the same. Look at bits a dont necessarily need for my car, and then not buy them. :lol: I keep staring at F7R bits, like ITBS etc, anodised bits. Stuff that i wont afford until at least next year!

Guh, boredom.

I grudgingly have to agree that a 300 sometimes looks better lowered ;-)

Did they get a lot of 300s for some reason? Or is it just that they don't throw away old cars in that country?

The Volvo 300 being based on a DAF 77 is a common misconception. In reality, the car is a rebadged Ukranian Saporoshez.
