Guess what. GRAND FINALE !!!! *21/03/10*

Post by volvosneverdie »

Yes, you're correct.

My 406 has renedered itself useless.
Handbrake snapped
clutch cable gone
sill rotted out
arb droplinks gone
headlight cracked
bumper smashed
rear bushes gone
no mot
no tax
now won't rev over 4k
power has all gone somewhere.
Fuck knows where or why
also
needs a vosa assesment.

Dirty fucking french sack of useless, pointy piece of crisp bearing, shit. Fuck Gaul and all it produces.

Can someone sell me a 300 please?

:(

good question.
Because I was assured it was a good solid car, that needed for nothing.

would.
Either that, or he really hates me. :|

I told you so, sorryyy.... :lol:

First hand experience with french crap fwd thing has taught some lessons, my father has gone far to senility much quicker I ever thought would been possible as he almost worships french crap fwd cars (which btw did not cause me to choose this torturing device of mine), so two days ago his Megane snapped clutch cable too, it seem to be quite common with these kind of craps.

Your damned four wheeled nail to coffin certainly deserved to be pushed into crusher, btw do you get some kind of voucher when you crush such crappy thing or does that apply only to mint 300 Volvos? :?

It's weird how public transport is supported so much even it is indeed crap, even bicycle would be better, well maybe not in London, I have seen few videos and it did not look too good, however bicycling in Moscow did look much more horrifying experience.

Damn, where are all those £50 taxed mint 300 series cars when you need one? There is one for £250 and it's at east Hampshire (where ever that is, I bet it's up north), 1.7 under 90k on clock. Your Ebay lists only 3 300 series cars and two of them are driftstroyed, so practically you have only one choice trough that route and it is expensive and probably far.
You could always get a Yugo, them are plenty and cheap? :mrgreen:
