I have just removed a very neat little under-bonnet light from my dearly departed Volvo 240....it's an awesome little curved light with a mercury switch (looks ace, like something from a bomb in a film)....i'm gonna fit it on the 2cv ....my question is has anyone else done anything like this....it just seems like a nice simple addition and I can wire it almost directly from the fuse box.....

It's the tesco mentality....every little helps....!

I had a Volvo 240 for a bit ... mine was a black GLT estate. Cool as fuck, and I wish I'd never got rid of it.

I've got a 240 gl saloon,I love her.....but the front brake callipers are screwed And it isn't worth fixing them as the cost of running is too high now too.......they look awesome slammed too....I also have the American spec lights on mine....quads look so cool....

Is that a of general disapproval....

What would you want for it? You're only round the corner from me ...

I'll pm my number to you...

there was a time in 2cv land when you would rather admit to having genital herpes than owning a volvo

I remember that! I remember Dave Burdett getting a huge cheer at an AGM in the mid 1990s when he announced that he'd driven an articulated lorry into the back of a Volvo estate a few days earlier. Then I bought one and suddenly discovered what fantastic cars they actually are.

You gotta love cliques.....some people think car enthusiasts are weird, some car enthusiasts think classic car people are weird, some classic car folk think 2cv fans are weird, some 2CV guys look down their noses at D*lly owners......you can't bloody win....

Anyway, my herpes cleared up real easy, my love of volvos.....not so much....

And to be honest I think most of my girlfriends would have preferred if I had had herpes, the volvos have not managed to score much in the clunge department.....
