Love this little car and put the video on as soon as I saw the thumbnail. Very happy to watch more on this lovely Volvo. As for what to do with it, a nice subtle resto-mod: keep it looking and mechanicaly original but modernise some aspects of the car to make it better for today's traffic. So auto choke, up-rated brakes etc. Looking forward to more on the 340 .
Hey glad you enjoyed this one. It was a satisfying video to make for sure really enjoyed it. Your sort of in the right direction for the plans stay tuned for a further plans and walk around video. Cheers for watching 👍
I'd rather off myself than drive a car with an auto-choke, they never seem to work for me. A manual choke is all you'll need.
All that snow foam rubbish is just an expensive con. Water is all you need and elbow grease. Those chemicals are full of nasties. Don't like chemicals.
@@davesdaze agreed 👍
Yeah the choke on this one is great and easy! Would love to see a cruisecontrol though if you want to modernize. They did it on the 144 if i’m correct.
Could hear all the car detailer guys and girls shouting “where’s the snow foam?!?” 😂
No amount of snow foam would have mattered 😂
I think only girls call it snow foam
@@SimpsonsClassics ehh, yes it would! Last summer i washd a volvo 140, sould be grey, but more black/green then. I soked the dry paint with water and then use foam lance. Algeris and moss started to ran off. Ofcoarse you use an alkaline based schampo and not ph neutral schampo
I’m a Volvo nut, but the 340s were never available here in the US, so I’m fascinated by them. I’m definitely along for the ride to see what happens next! 😃
Yes I heard they weren’t available in the US which is a shame it was introduced to compete with the smaller euro cars over here. I hope you enjoy the content this one is all new to me. 👍
They were originally a DAF design from the Netherlands..Volvo bought out DAF's car division late 70's or thereabouts and rebadged (and vastly redeveloped) them as Volvos. They were'nt made in Sweden as the bigger 240/740/760 but made in Holland or Belgium using Renault and / or Volvo engines.
Here in Sweden we had loads of them, but most are gone now due to rusting away
I owned one of these as a student back in the day. The engine blew up on the M6. Oil pumps pack up at 90k miles. Comfy interior
Oh no that’s not good let’s hope mine doesn’t do that. But yes very nice interiors
such a great 80's car !!! my dad bought one 1984 one in 1992 with a blown head gasket ! the car was mint but not worth much at the time in its state so he fixed it up and we had it for a few years as a family car ....
Glad you like this one it sounds like you have some great memories of these little cars 👍
Remember when these were a popular choice in the 80s pretty reliable and economical cars.
It definitely seems like loads of people had them but now there is none about
I used to have a fully loaded, F Reg, Volvo 360GLT. Even now, and driving a much more modern and up to date car, I miss my old 360. If I found one in good, original, nick the. I’d be sorely tempted to buy it.
Oh sounds like you had a great little example of the car. Hopefully one day you get another 👍
Absolutely keep them coming
The paint and finish quality on Volvos was better than most - glad to see you got the polisher out on it and getting back to that original deep Volvo shine. Love the channel!
Hey thanks stay tuned for a full polish to hopefully keep some of this original paint 👍
Used to own Volvo 360 .the black bumper bars I Used Margarine on the bumpers came up great . the 360 wish i had never got rid of great show to watch from Vung Tau Vietnam
That sounds like a great little car for sure. Thanks for watching stay tuned for more 👍
Worthy of a simple restoration
That’s the plan buddy 👍
I’m not gonna lie, I do love a good cleaning vid, so satisfying to watch 👌
Aha glad you enjoyed it. It was so Satisfying to make this video 👍
Keep this standard and do it up love old Volvos my dad had a Volvo 240 gle had everything black leather etc utter good car had 284'000 miles on clock shame car had died due to a ECU problem which I was not able to go car breakers on my own as too young then plus dad was working
Hey, there is a new video out on Sunday which will explain plans but hope you all will be happy about it, I love old Volvos to, thanks for watching and sharing your experiences to :)
@@SimpsonsClassics your welcome wish I could help with doing this project
@@richardbartholomew7924 your supporting viewing is more than enough 👍
I worked for a Volvo dealership in the early 80s in the body shop....we repainted hundreds of thse 340s in a burgundy metallic as Volvo recalled them for paint defects interestingly only on that particular colour!
I was bloody sick of them.
Oh wow really. I wonder if this one was ever repainted? That’s good to no but I guess wasn’t good for you. Cheers for watching 👍
hi would love to see more classics like this brought back to life great stuff cheers.
Cheers Steve that’s the plan can’t wait to see this one back on the road and being used 👍
Here in Sweden its known as "Rem-Johan" (Strap-John) due to the straps in the gearbox, Variomatic.
Thank you for cleaning a Dutch build car 🇳🇱💞
No problem 😊
@@SimpsonsClassics i have 2 UK cars by the way here in The Netherlands 😉
@@TheKilroy1980 oh that’s cool! Cheers for watching 👍
As a Volvo 340 owner, i like seeing this very much!
Hey that's great I hope you enjoy the content on this little car.
Really really good to watch! A B200E with a 5speed will fit perfectly, even more fun is a B230ft🤭 but you have to rebuild and upgrade the brakes and suspension obviously 😅
Cheers buddy yes these conversions look epic. Check out the next video for plans etc 👍
Best part of watching car channels is finding old cars and bringing them back to life. Hope you continue to do the same content.
Appreciate that this one was great to save hopefully will see the road again to. Cheers for watching 👍
I had one of these as my first car, just in the blue. Very cool to see one again, return to the road.
That sounds cool do like them in blue. Cheers for watching 👍
Stock resto for me. Very lovely project car, just in that window of time where it could actually be a livable daily.
New video out on Sunday but your close to my plans, cheers for watching 👍
@@SimpsonsClassics Already subbed! So I'll be watching. Great content! Just be careful with audio clipping (don't be too loud near your mic to avoid distortion). Former audio engineer's worth of advice!
Very satisfying to watch! Plus you just don't see Volvo 340s on UK roads anymore...
It was very satisfying to do. Cheers for watching yes they are becoming a rare bread now. 👍
I had a 340 dl great car to do a service on the reg was B779 PHA same color 4-speed box .
Oh cool seems like a few people have had these over the years which is cool. 👍
That surprisingly cleaned up very nice, it doesn't look that bad at all! I quite like the dark red as well.
Cheers yes we loved washing this old thing. Considering it’s been left outside for all that time.
@@SimpsonsClassics yeah and 25 years is a long time! I love this sort of stuff and hope one day I'll have my own classic to work on 😊 when that day comes it would be cool to get you to do a Collab and chat about cars haha
@@clarkyyy2105 glad your enjoying it yes definitely get a classic it’s a fun way to spend your time and keeps your mind busy. I look forward to it 👍
I love the 340 my father had a yellow one and a bright red one is love to own one myself
Oh that’s great to hear about another 340 fan. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s video 👍
i know where there is 2 of those volvo's sitting and look as if they have sat for many years and they are owned by an elderly gent and are only about 2 mins walk from new cross hospital in wolverhampton. The elderly gent actually drives something else now so may very well be up for grabs if inquired about. Such a shame they are just sitting there wasting away when i would have thought there would be plenty of people out there that would love to get there hands on them to restore. Love your vids by the way i think it's great for any car to be saved if it can be 👍👍👍✔✔
Oh that’s a crying shame that they have been left there. I just felt sorry for this one and thought we need to give it a chance. Glad your enjoying videos buddy thanks for watching 👍
Many many years ago my dad had given him a vovlo 240 in a biscuit colour that had faded to like chalk, he was just going to strip it of it's parts for spares for the 240 he already had,,,i was about 14 at the time an wanted to try a biy of valeting so give it ago on this volvo, after i had finished it my dad scraped his old 240 an put the one i valeted back on the road, he nick named it "THE VOLIVONT" obviously because it was a volvo an it was a biscuit colour, he had the car for 7 years then sold it on!
Nice one I love hear all the Volvo story’s that everyone is chatting about. Cheers for watching 👍
Spray and the dirt has gone. Great to see Mrs Simpson having fun cleaning the car off too. Nice sneaky shot after the quick machine polish on the front wing.
Glad you enjoyed it buddy she was so excited to do it so couldn’t say no, after all she is always there in the back ground. Thought I would leave you all with a sneak peak aha
This is a lovely car and 340s are collectible now! Please keep it original as they are so rare especially in this condition and get turned into drift cars too often. This one is a survivor! Great video can’t wait to see progress
Cheers for the kind comment, your right you never see these now for sure so want to do right by it. Stay tuned for tonight’s video when I have a proper look at make some plans 👍
Came here through Furious Driving, great project this 340. I subscribed 👍🏻😃 greetings from the Netherlands👋🏻
Hey welcome to the channel. Thank you for subscribing. Glad you like this little car it’s definitely a rare little thing in the uk.
First car I ever owned. 340 GL back in 1989. Looked like a brick. Drove like a brick.
Got to love a boxy Volvo! Cheers for watching 👍
If I remember rightly these Volvo's had about 200kg of of paint on them so should cut up nice .blast from the past .
Yeah good old Volvo and their thick paint there is a fair bit of sun damage but will see what I can do.
@@SimpsonsClassics sun fade from that era was standard ,I think the muck maybe helpful , don't hold to much hope for that bonet lol
@@ThomasDoubting5 nope will do what we can with it and try and rock the survivor look it will need a repaint at some point
I've been eyeing up 480's lately. Volvo have some awesome and obscure models, I wish I could own one of each!
Very cool car indeed that. I would love to own one of each model aha
Loves these, my first proper Volvo. If you want to see old Volvos Sweden is amazing and how they modify them. Saw a 240 turned into a pick up truck.
Glad your a fan of these. Oh I would love to go out there and see some in the wild aha
Wow quite a state with all the green moss this Volvo 340 great video seeing it first cleaned since 1997👍👍👍
Yeah it was a little bit of a mess but cleaned up nicely. Cheers for watching 👍
Car deep cleaning is amazing to watch! I have done a project with BMW 325i on my channel, and I think I will stick to doing smaller projects now 😀
It’s definitely satisfying to do for sure. Can’t wait to do more on the car. Cheers for watching 👍
You should do it totally standard it will probably be the only standard one left.
The renault 1397cc engine had a habit of condensation in the distributor cap, that was a favourite non starter thing.
Hey I have a video out on Sunday which will explain my plans with it but yes your on the right lines. And thanks for the tip on the none starting potential issue 👍
I recently bought a '89 340 GLE, the one with the 5 speed and 1.7. Questioning the restoration and have only got it to start twice then forgot how a choke worked, put it back in and it shut off never to turn on again.
Sounds like a rare little car. I would do a restoration these cars are getting very rare now.
@@SimpsonsClassics Bet, I'm 17 and will probably cause more damage than good but I will try my best. Thank you for these restoration videos as it's the only guide to this care on TH-cam, even though different spec :)
Looking at its plate and the fact it’s not been seen in 25 years I think you should call it Ninja
Haha I did think that the day I saw the plate aha
SO glad I found this video and channel! I had an A reg auto 340 it was my start of loving Volvos, although I have only had 4! 340GL, 360GLE, S40 and I now have an 18yr old V50, would love to see it restored and running, they must be quite rare now!
Hey welcome to the channel glad you enjoyed this one. This one is my fourth Volvo do really love them so stay tuned for more content on this one. You don’t see many 300 series cars about now no.
Bloody hell I had one exactly the same I can still smell that old volvo one thing it never let me down
Oh that’s ace I hope you enjoy the content on this one then. 👍
Love this car.!
PLEASE keep it standard! They are hens teeth rare now, especially the much underestimated varomatic!
Hey I have a new video out on Sunday which explain my plans better, yes these little cars are becoming rare now and want to do right by it. Cheers
Very theraputice. Nice edit and music. Get more green cars in future. Would like you to get the volvo green again in the otherway, by making it powered by electricity as it's main fuel. Just so long as you don't do that with any of your minis!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Unfortunately I am not into electric classic cars so that isn’t something that interests me. 👍
Incredibly satisfying to watch, great to see Mrs S on the channel too. Love your enthusiasm and determination to save our automotive heritage Marc. The body has held up very well considering. Definitely love the idea of more of the same as the garage space allows. I think you've enough on your hands for the time being mind. :)
Hey it was incredibly satisfying to do as well. This is definitely something different and will be great to hear it run. Mrs S didn’t want to miss out on the big wash aha definitely got enough on currently cheers for watching 👍
As a proud 340 DL owner I'm delighted these cars are getting a bit of love these days. Nice one for getting the ball rolling on this one, it really wasn't bad at all once you'd given it a swill down. The Variomatics were always strange to drive, the engine would be speeding up as you slowed the car down and vice versa, took a bit of getting used to.
Hey nice to hear from another owner of the car. You just don’t see these anymore so I had to give it a chance to save the little thing. I am excited to give it a drive for the first time. Thanks for watching stay tuned for another video tomorrow 👍
Nice to get all that muck off, I would like to see the car brought back to life as there are not too many about, regarding the future I love a good video where a vehicle is dragged out of its grave and brought back to life, lots of nice content to keep you site interesting, thanks
Thanks Michael glad your going to be following this one on it’s journey. I am definitely on he hunt for some cars that need rescuing now! It was so fun!
Nice car! Can't wait to see it run and all shined up, inside and out!
Cheers Tim it’s definitely worth trying to save 👍
Tip for free, soak it in degreaser, wait 10 min, then use the highpressure washer.
Thanks that's a good tip the jet wash got most of it off so a nice polish should sort the rest, thanks for watching
so much epic!! love that you have saved it i can imagine that being so rewarding to wash and clean up.
Aha thanks man! It needed saving I couldn’t leave it there!
took me a min to realise Mrs Simpson had the jet wash I thought you painted your nails for a split second 🤣 nothing nicer than a jet wash like that .. looks like a different car already .. would love to see more rescue videos like that mate there epic .. can't wait to see it fully mopped and polished
Haha 😂 only thing my nails are painted with is rust and oil 😝 glad you enjoyed this one. It was definitely satisfying doing this stay tuned for more on this car 👍
I will be following this series. I've recently gotten an old 343 -79 back to life on my own. Was very tedious and annoying trying to source down parts and the such, but if you are in England I am sure classicswede will help you more than it did me. One potential thing you could do to that car, is install a manual gearbox. Classicswede has a bunch of them and I am sure that it is a fairly straight forward swap if you manage to source all the components. And I recommend getting the m47r mk2 instead of the m45r if you want decent mileage on the road. You can also trim these out with coilovers, lowering blocks, bigger carbs and all of that. You could also start doing what a guy in the netherlands has been doing for the last years, sourcing all of the original volvo 343 R parts. Snowcap, the R-type front, the jalusi for the rear window and such.
I hope you enjoy the content buddy thanks for watching. I am hoping to keep the lazy odd little auto box in there it’s one reason I wanted it as it interests me. I know it will be a slow little car but it’s not what it’s about. Classic swedes already have an order of me aha 👍
@@SimpsonsClassics Well let's hope your cvt doesn't break often and goes far. You will need to post a video of yourself trying to go as fast as you dare in reverse with it tho, I hear it can go equally fast in reverse as forward.
@@ASDASD34RDFS haha I hope it’s a good box to and yes I have been very intrigued by that idea of going in reverse to lol 😂
My was a 3 door burgundy one. But it was the pre face lift one. Had red cloth interior. I covered 150k in it.
It is still the car I wish I never sold.
Part exchanged it for a MG metro.
Oh really sounds like it would have been a great looking car back in the day. Maybe you can get another one day..
I love these odd survivor cars. I saw a mk1 cavalier at a local car show. Red with a red interior, some patina but a really cool car. The young lads were all having their photo taken in a murcielago, but I think the cavalier was way cooler.
We love them to! Yes all day long a retro car over a super car they really aren’t my bag at all. Cheers for watching 👍
Since its a variomatic it should be a renault 1,4 engine . We went through 4 of these car . I must say that I like them alot ! I prefer the b200f engine with the 5 speed gearbox . Those are very roomy and quiet economical . Why dont you just restore it ? Its in good shape and very free of rust as I could see !
Yes, that's exactly what it is, if you catch our next video I run through plans, and show you the car properly, thanks for watching.
I would have loved power washing all that dirt off 😁😁. Very satisfying.
Aha it was so fun for sure!
It is the same colour as the one my mate had. I noticed a little bit of rot on the back door and number plate panel but overall it's lasted well. You and Liz definitely evicted a lot of wildlife there! lol. I would go all Clubman Estate on it, mechanically sound but keeping its age bodywork / paintwork wise.
I really like the colour. Yes good spot it’s pretty rough round there and definitely needs to be sorted. Stay tuned for a walk around video and plans etc cheers for watching 👍
Great to see the car where it was found, definitely like to see the cars being rescued, keep up the great work👍
Cheers Neil I appreciate that glad you enjoyed this so far. I really hope to save more cars in the future 👍
looking a lot better than i thought, be nice to see it at a car show ! you never see them like that.
Trust me it’s not great under there but a nice polish and maybe rock that survivor look for a while main thing is getting it back on the road
great video and great save, I've got a earlier 343 Vario. nice to see the lesser cars in the terms of classics are getting some attention.
Thanks for that. That’s sort of why I wanted it. They are becoming forgotten and it’s great in its own little way. Cheers for watching
Good to see the progress, looks like another boot is required! Will be interesting to see what state the drive belts are in. Check that they sit with some silver of the pulleys showing or they will delaminate. I expect it will need new ones anyway!
Glad you enjoyed it yes the boot really doesn’t look to clever. Stay tuned for more on this car walk around and plans video coming up. Yes the drive belts are all new to me so will make for an interesting investigation 👍
Really interesting video Marc. Something very satisfying about seeing a car like this being cleaned. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned for it. Mark.
Hey thanks glad you enjoyed the video it was definitely a satisfying one to make that’s for sure. Stay tuned for a full walk around and plans etc 👍
Yeah it needs a good polishing
Interior needs a good clean but
you already knew that lol.
Motor needs a good service , plugs
HT leads , oil change & filters , brakes & fluids , but uou already
knew that too, but what you didn't
know ? It would be good to drive
around the Melbourne roads in
Australia the automatic would
Love it 😳😨😱😱😱😱😱😱
clocking up the kays, or miles
to you 😀
That’s basically the plan buddy. I want to get it all clean and get it mechanically fit for the road and see what comes next. Cheers for watching stay tuned for more 👍
Got to be left to be as original as it can be
That’s the plan buddy 👍
You need a BIGGER workshop. It's filling up quickly.
I know it already feels like that 🙈
i never really understood why the 300 series got as much hate as it did...i still like it for what it is. a small sturdy (hatchback?)
I was aimed at the small car market so Volvo could have a car in every class of vehicle so believe it not the sporty 300 was aimed at the Golf GTI etc
It’s actually a DAF with a Volvo badge .😂
Yep this has been mentioned in the latest video 👍
Restore it original , but i think you will have the same problems with de volvo 340 in the UK , as i have with my morris ital in the Netherlands , difficult to get parts
Hey, we have a video coming out soon with the plans for the car but yes, I can see what you mean it's hard finding parts for these cars. Thanks for watching :)
How do I clean mouldy seats I have a vw passat that's been stood for 5 years and the steering wheel has gone mouldy but I do not know what product to use to remove it.any help would be welcome.
We will be covering the interior clean in a coming episode buddy so hopefully that helps.
New subscriber here, I'm hooked!
Hey thanks appreciate that stay tuned for more content 👍
That was definitely satisfying to watch that car have a good clean after so long. Looks a bit rusty in parts but on the hole it looks a very nice car. I love the colour and I think that it should be kept as original as possible because its a one owner car that has an incredible story and survived very well I think. Looking forward to future videos. The workshop is filling up fast haha!😎👍
Glad you enjoyed it. It was satisfying to do buddy. Yes the plans have been made for it so stay tuned for a walk around video and plans of it. Yes the workshop is definitely getting a little crowded now but not all will stay in there so we can keep rotating 👍
Is that Frost Automotive Restoration Tecniques or FART for short? Someone shares my sense of humour.
Lmao never noticed that! It’s brilliant 🤣
Great to see one with the Variomatic gearbox!
Let’s hope it all works ok aha cheers for watching 👍
My friend had one of these back in the day. It was a shitbox but quite indestructible. Calling it a classic is maybe a stretch though
Every car deserves a chance. Cheers for watching.
First Volvo I drove was a 340 haven't seen one in years tho
Oh cool. No you just don’t see them anymore
@@SimpsonsClassics I've had 3 740.s 1 940 . 1 850 and 2 240.s to say I like the Volvo would be an understatement :) if I had the chance to buy a road going 340 I'd jump at the chance
Interesting little car and I'll be following along. Looks like it maybe has a few rust issues on the rear. As a funny aside, I live about 25 minutes from Griot's main store in Tacoma, WA (USA). Nice to see they're appreciated elsewhere.
Great cheers I hope you enjoy watching this one on its journey. Yes the rust at the rear really isn’t great but nothing that can’t be sorted I hope. Oh that’s cool I am new to their products but really like them so far 👍
@@SimpsonsClassics hah yes, you're not a stranger to fixing rusty bits so I know you have it handled.
@@rennkafer13 thanks hope be something nice and different to work on 👍
Just subbed and liked. Love what your doing .
Hey thanks very much I hope you enjoy the content. Have a look about at our other projects to 👍
Green motoring is the future!
Haha our white clubby estate was green when we bought it also!
Ideal if paint would polish up .
Hopefully buddy can rock that survivor look for a little while
Love the volvo! Would be great to see it in show condition but unmodified.
Glad you like this little thing cheers for watching 👍
I'd keep it completely original and restore only the rust patches, no wrap or repaint I'd say but that of course also depends on how bad things turn out to be.
That’s sort of the plan buddy. Stay tuned for a full walk around of the car 👍
Keep it original
That’s the plan buddy 👍
Lovin the Vario !!
Glad your enjoying it 👍
Keep her completely stock.
Stay tuned for the next video when we explain what we are going to do with it :)
as much as i hate to say it, i am a fan of the burgendy 😂
Aha me to really like it on this car 👍
You need to show the engine bay!😁
Oh I will in a coming video 👍
The car looks ok except gor where the water w a s falling on the hood which I believe has to be repainted.
Thanks Yeah it’s warm through the paint. I guess it’s character 👍
You mentioned you haven’t got it running yet 😮 seems a bit back to front cleaning it before you get it running but I supposed if you have a few grand set aside to mend the engine if it needs work it makes sense. I enjoyed the video, but I hope you might change your mic because I did find it hard to understand you with the one you’re using now. I think you should get it Road worthy and use it as it is. Don’t clean it up too much and keep it original.
No we have done it this way as working on a filthy car is absolutely no fun at all. So it’s clean now and we see if it’s worth saving getting it running shouldn’t be much of an issue the car is worth saving either way. Yes fully know I need a mic cheers more videos to follow. 👍
@@SimpsonsClassics Nice one dude I look forward to seeing more!
It's Eco friendly car
Definitely is aha
Dark brown
Its actually dark Red.
Not really a Volvo… designed by DAF and built in their Dutch factory after the take over by Volvo. Nice car though!
Nope known as a fake Volvo I know but still wears it the right badge so worthy of the garage with my “real” Volvos 👍
I passed my driving test in a 340
Oh that’s cool!
@@SimpsonsClassics registration was BET ***Y so my instructor Walt called her Betsy ! He's long since passed away, but he loved that car.
@@andynightingale7335 that’s a cool number plate also. Shame it’s not long about.
Staying around brown nice would have left the moss on it
As great as it looked the car would never have a chance of the road again if I left it
it vill look cool with 240 turbo wheels
it would if they were 5 stud on the 340. lots of choice though
Like the below comment they are four stud but plenty of cool wheels to pick from
@@SimpsonsClassics yes you are right did forget that
Its LPG so surely more recently used than 25 years no?
It’s not LPG it’s been sat since 1997
@@SimpsonsClassics Isn't that an LPG opening on the side?
@@sandersson2813 no that’s the fuel cap 👍
@@SimpsonsClassics Cheers.
never had an MOT????
Yes it will have done 25 years ago
Yuk. Also available in burgendy
Haha that’s what I thought! 😀
Remove the suspension and turn it into a monster truck. Paint flames on the side of it and put the legs of female mannequins on the boot with different types of pantihose and shoes on. Oh and of course rip out the engine and replace it with something massive. a v12 with a supercharger sticking out of the hood that can be heard all the way to France. Oh and maybe a jolly roger flag painted on somewhere too. I know it is a lot of work so it may never happen, but admit it, you want to, you want to.
Haha 😂 well that would make for one mad little car wouldn’t it!
@@SimpsonsClassics Oh and I forgot that you also need a super expensive stereo with a flat screen and two giant subwoofer in the trunk. Just to make sure the Neighbours will hear you comming.
@@FPfreddyyy 🤣
What is your accent we cant understands you
Southern England, no one else seems to struggle. However, there is subtitles if you're stuck
All that effort for a dreadful car . What a waste .
Your view I guess but in mine it would be a waste to have left it there. Appreciate you watching all the same
