I'm really to sorry to hear it mate, but as long as you are ok, thats the main thing. Did you walk away from it? Or is the fact you posted 2 weeks later a bad sign?
It was a tight motor, but you'll be able to do it again

sorry to hear that...
it was a big accident? it seems so...
There are some cheap 300's... maybe you can afford one and transplant some things from yours

It was big acident, when I have run to skid , I stop on the center of road. after about 1 minute about 10 cars run to skid too... It was terrible feeling you can't do anything...
I have blocked quite big road for about 4 hours.
You can download short movie about my 340 (use internet explorer)

Gutted...
So you rolled it, drivers side took most of the impact too. That looks really scary. Glad you're OK. Listen mate, I don't mean to belittle your loss here, but fuck the car, rejoice that you are alive. You are worth a million Volvo's
Love the video tribute, very funereal, very moving!
You'll find a new car - strip all the mods out of the wreck, and fit them without any mistakes this time. Oh, and get a 360 next time!

That's devastating, you had put a huge amount of work into that car, and it showed!
If you put it on it's roof, just thank god you were in a volvo and not a suzuki/renault/ford!

So sorry to hear that mate.
I dread the day that something like that should happen to me and the car, but like everyone else says the car can be replaced maybe even better second time round!!!
Glad you are ok!!!!

wiktor ,
what can I say but to echo what has been said already , your ok thats the main thing ,
I for one found a lot of the ideas you put into your car inspirational ,
its memory will live on in my redline as I am going to paint the door window frames black ,
as many have said , find another 300 and transfer as much over as you can , best of luck,
oh and just coz your cars gone for now , dont be a stranger here, the 300 is what brings us together but friendships continue long after the cars have gone.
(except in 5labs case of course lol )

toooo bad, this!
did the other cars topple over as well??
quite a mess.. as said; strip all the options off that are still OK.
do you have a welder? there's lots of cheap V300's over here that only need some underbody repairs.
