Not a 300. T5 content.
Posted: 27 May 2014 03:05 pm
It was a cold, wet spring evening in mid two thousand and fourteen. The rain outside beat onto the glass in a soothing rolling rhythm. I opened a bottle of continental lager and fired up the laptop. The cooling fan spun, the rain continued the roll down the glass and my mind slipped back to the summer of 84. And the Gypsy.
The Gypsy had told me, when I was eight years old, never to mix ebay and booze, ever. She looked me dead in the eye, and said the sentence slowly, twice. Her eyes went big as she said the last word. She looked very much like she had been practicing in front the mirror.
I'd never heard of ebay, and was more into pulling skids and yoyo tricks anyway so brushed off the warning without much consideration. I certainly never planned to drink any horrible lager. No way. I'm a dandelion and burdock man, and always will be. I put it to the back of my mind and went back to dancing like a robot.
The fan stopped spinning, a familiar website popped up with a gentle "boop" and a took a sip of my fourth bottle.
So many lovely things...................
Hang on. Ive always wanted one of those...................
OH
MY
EFFING
GOD!
BOOP! YOU ARE WINNER.

Hooray!
I own a Volvo flavoured Turbo car with many redeeming features:
New battery and altenator! (intermittent electrical fault expected then)
New Exhaust!
Towbar!
Cloth!
Many pedals!
Minor triffles:
No glove box lid.
It lacks the amount of clutch required to enable rapid forward motion.
Insurance cost.
Managed to sort one of the three above already.
Tomorrow morning, I shall be collecting Liam and heading south with the intention of attempting to limp it home 150 million miles.
Do toot if you see us on the A19.
Updates to follow tomorrow.
"They never listen"
I know its not a 300, but at least its a Volvo. After having actual car sex with an XJ40, Nissan Sunny, Mazda 323f GT, 309, a Yaris and a K11, I've finally made it back into the Volvo fold.
Are 300s cheap again yet?
Hows everyone?
I see the board still doesnt resize. Is Chris's turbo conversion finished yet?
