Re: Official V3M 300 Spotted Thread.
I was just passing in a street in front of a MOT center in Brussels, suddenly I saw this...
I immediately stopped and talked to the guy, he didn't know V3M. He has my name now and the URL of this site in case of problem!
Nice car, '87, manual, only 80.000 km. Difficult to explain the joy after the little talk, great moment
I had no news, I suppose the MOT was OK

Re: Official V3M 300 Spotted Thread.
Hi all.
Today Mrs mchudd and i went to a local church fete {its the only time i go to such places} and there was a De loren
parked at the side of the church. The bloke who owened it was charging people a squid to sit in it for charity.
Although these great motors were built here in Belfast, i had never been in one.So i forked out a hard earned squidly
and hopped in. I now want one
.i said to the bloke, i thought i was the only one around here with a rear window louvre and
he asked me what i drove. I told him mk1 345 volvo and he told me the De loren was powered by a 2.8 volvo v6. I didn't know that.
Cheers Mark.
