I think it must be the breeding season for 240s down hereabouts! There was a nice looking red one on the road from Bodmin going towards Fowey this afternoon (and the driver waved too, a bit of a rarity nowadays) then while my stepdaughter was waiting for me in Wadebridge she saw a white one, she thought at first that it was ours. It's good to know that there are still at least a few in regular use.

Saw yet another today, a G reg. red estate coming out of the garage on Tywardreath Highway. Don't think the driver noticed us, as he was looking the other way, but the car did look quite well cared-for. I suppose it might have been the one I mentioned in 261 but I think that was a K reg.

Saw a silver 240 GLT saloon coming out of Tesco Kidsgrove, Staffs. Driver gave a cheery wave.. I flashed my headlights and nearly hit a Landrover who thought I was flashing him out of a junction....

Iwas 6 weeks around Berwick and Dunbar last september and never saw one .It makes one feel very special to be driving around in something out of the ordinary.

I saw a rather tidy red, E-registered, estate in Stretton (Warrington) around 11:15 yesterday; it had a large Earl Haig Poppy on the grille and appeared to have a large antenna on the roof.

There are very few older volvos in my area of Cork/Kerry/Limerick border. I would love a pre 1980 for much cheaper tax James |

I was looking for this thread for ages yesterday but couldn't find it!
I saw a stunning white saloon enter the M25 northbound from the A320 yesterday at 7pm. Also now several times seen a scruffy white estate in Havant but he completely ignores me even though we've driven straight past each other...

Wasn't there some sort of very generous "scrappage scheme" in Ireland in the early 90's? I'm sure that saw off much of the older stuff. I remember seeing stacks of dead cars when I went over years ago.
