360 GLE hatch reg number E750 KVC, got to be the first time a 300 volvo has been central to the plot of a tv show.

It may well get repeated. I thought I spotted a 300 on some Australian police program, I think it was being pushed by fireman on a hard shoulder

I may dig that out...
I think we need a spotted thread for 300's we see out and about or on TV. I caught a glimse of one yesterday going the other way in Crediton (not you was it Hugh

) I think it was a dark blue (like mine) Mk3, but I only caught a glimse. I thought the driver looked quite young, sort of 20 or so, and I think he had a baseball cap.

Didn't catch it this time round, but saw it when it was originally on, probably last year. It did look a very clean example indeed.

I found the image I mentioned before. It appears to be a 300, but a bit hard to be certain

Not the best advert for 300's, but luckilly as it was only shown for a few seconds at the beggining/end nobody noticed it
At uni I havn't room for a tele really, so I've got a little thing about the size of a USB pen drive which plugs in and gives telle on the PC. I just hit g and it grabs a screen shot for me which is great when watching TV to get stuff like that

The TV you mean?
The halls of residence cover that
