hi guys, im new to this forum so thought i would just say hello and introduce myself. I'm Nav and from sunny (not) cardiff in south wales. Dont currently own a volvo but have been a huge fan for a while and have decided its about time that i satisfy my need for a 300 of some sort in my life. Currently drive a starlet GT turbo as well as a civic vti saloon, but please dont confuse me with a boy racer as i am just a big jap fan in general.

guys if any one knows of any good ones around (not bother whether its 340 or 360, 3 door or 5 but would probably want the 1.7 or 2.0) please let me know

Nav

p.s. anybody from south wales here at all?

Cheers Mark, well what you need to know about Wales is that it has some epic driving roads aswell as some epic dumps lol. Plus in Cardiff our council are what you might call speed bump enthusiasts but we make do lol all be it with a few scratches on the sump lol. But all jokes aside, well worth a visit :D

Even I live at Finland, I have heard some comments about roads at Cardiff, so I guess those must be quite bad to rumours get this far :lol:

Got myself a lovely 1989 volvo 360 GLT and im chuffed to bits with it, its got a torch in the key!(probably standard but i was well impressed), fire extinguisher, electric mirrors, sunroof, heated seats as well as a bunch of other stuff.

any way, down to the important stuff, any of the south wales lads know where i can get the diff welded?

No, the luxury's are staying, other than replace the exhaust as it's blowing and weld the diff for a lil bit of fun in my 1st rear wheeler, I want to keep everything as standard as possible.

p.s. Excuse my ignorance but what is WHS?
