Yer before I went out and bought my 340 I lent the magazine off my friend (who is a subscriber to PPC) and had a good old nosey at it which after the read made me want one even more so (which i've now got, yay!)
'tis ashame really as theres some uber cool volvo weapons about aswell as some stunning concours and pimped out vehicles around also!

I don't know any which would be in english. In Sweden there are some, very good is Bilsport, it features lot of Volvos.

They once had a project 760 turbo in that magazine, goal was to get it go fast with a tight budget. In the end it went 11s in 1/4.

In street machine and custom car mags there has been quite a few volvo's mostly chopped amazons and 740 low riders.
A Volvo mag would be great but I cant see it selling here is the uk

I know there are some articles on some amazons including rainbow chaser and I also remember an article on a verly early Volvo taxi very nicely rodded/custom.
There was also a small feature on two 140' a saloon and estate with heavy roof chops side chop and 850 front ends!
It will give me something to do during the long winter nights

Here's the only time a 300 featured in a German car mag since 1985 ...
No mods, few pics and all in German, but I'm sure you'll all agree with the title

300>Golf ...
BTW, is that same guy Foggy, V6 Man & Pettaw met?

Anyone know about the white 360, custom kit? Lots of pictures of it 5ish years ago, and I know it had a magazine feature. Might still have a scan on the old computer!
