Volvo 300 payload - or another way of lowering a Volvo 360

Post by trabitom99 »

... erm I might've overdone it a bit here:

Just checked the owner's manual, I'm allowed 442 kilos of payload. If you subtract me, that leaves, erm, not very much!

Accessory buffs: note the rare cavity cover on the RHS of the boot :-)

Here you would get stopped by police and get fined from not securing the load + over load + dangering traffic or something like that :lol:

That is lot of rock, making fence? :D

Here too ... But the dump is only 2 streets away, so it's not quite so bad ...
That's a mixture of rubble from some concrete stairs and bits of my house :-(

... that's not the usual sort of treatment I subject it to :oops: Today, the work was done by a friend's W124 Merc estate - slightly better for the job ...

You're right, mobile.de around 5 months back, from a small town between Dresden and the Czech border ...
