I had one in the boot! Only got two tyres for those at the moment. Two more on the way next week, then they're going on...
He hasn't shouted about it yet, but Mark's Dad's 340 WON the 300 section. Now clearly I put mine in modified to give them a sporting chance...arf arf....

Waw, great pictures... The GLS, my favourite blue!
What was the text on the panel "friends of the Volvo 300" in front of James car? Who made that? The Voc? James?

Aymat - time for an eye test! Wrong wheels and grille - that's a GLT.
It's owned by the guy who runs his own 300 series club 'Friends of the Volvo 300' - George Mitchell?

No, the guy who runs it is pretty old...I'd say he's one of the old-school of 300 series owners....how can I put this...I doubt he's into lowering and B230ET swaps...
His car was a bit of a mess to be honest, and he was the first to admit that.

Possibly, although I get the impression that not that many members are young enough to be computer literate! Maybe I'm being a little harsh...I'll enquire!
cheers,

When I read that, I got the feeling you're talking about the "MORE" (96 and +) category in the pool concerning the age of the Volvo 300 drivers!

Hang on a sec james, Aymat was right, the GLS he was on about was the blue one owned by the two old guyes in the blue, not the saloon, which was a glt!
