That makes it so much easier to see.Still can't make out the reg number though,I even enlarged it and went shot by shot but no go.
Possible so far *453 GJN,**** GDC,****GOC?
Defo a Torslanda and red with stripes and roof rack.And manual front windows.Plain grey cloth seats.

Me oh yes I'm bored.Raining all day blowing a gale and sat watching reruns of "The big bang theory".

So anyone out there with a Hi def television who can maybe zoom in and enhance the reg number?

Regards Brian.

Default CSI NY Chrome Rack ....another Chrome Rack

I don't even own a TV! (or a Volvo at the moment)

Yet I watch some programs online and I keep seeing Volvos ...!

The latest CSI NY has a 245 with a nice chrome rack:

The US band Vampire Weekend use a 240 saloon on the video for their song Cape Cod at the beginning - it's worth a watch on Youtube!

In the new series of Breaking Bad Walt is rocking a white 240 DL saloon.
It's a step up from the Pontiac Aztec he had for the previous 4 seasons.

Default Real Wallander 240

As a 'Real' Wallander anorak, I watched the recent BBC 4 offering as it is probably the only Rolf Lassgard episode I haven't seen ...and there was only one 240, I've managed a screen grab without the moped riders being launched through the air!:

Saw "Ted" the movie last night. Quite amusing if a little childish humour in places.

Grey late 240 estate driven by sinister weirdo "baddy" type guy features quite a bit from midway through to the end of the film.

Holds up well in a rear end collision with some sort of modern VW (passat?).

I may be imagining this due to the poor quality sound on my computer but does anyone else think it's been overdubbed with a six cylinder engine?
