Although that is a Volvo 300 series that he crashes on purpose, i still think Clarkson is a brilliant man the way he picks on cars.

That countach is good looking, and really special, but i believe him to his word that is runs like crap.

You may be missing the point.

I think we love our 340/360's because one of it's charms is that it's a bad car! :shock:

Clarkson is a prat but an entertaining one and what he has to say about thr 300, to us lot, means nothing.

Look at that iconic British classic the Mini. Crap! :shock: It's basic, slow, poorly put together and therefore commands a massive following. The Volvo 300 is more or less the same.

I love mine! :D

We however must keep this to ourselfs. Why?. Well because crap cars have a knack of becoming classics and therefore expensive. Look at the Mini.

Haha, I also remember him describing the Volvo 340 as 'the worst car ever built' I still love watching Top Gear though.

TBH by the time a 300 is a few years old and all the suspension gets a bit worn, it starts feeling sloppy and hopeless.

The steering play was probably the rubber doo-dah worn on the steering column ;)

Yeah true about the truck and it less of a mess than some of the cars that have had minor accidents on that site

Spot on, they aren't 'great' cars but they sure are fun.
