Ca you imagine it? On the road for Lille, I decided to make the refill in a gaz station on the motorway... And Dang! I fell on another Volvo P 1800. I couldn't believe it. The other owner of the 1800 either! So we started to chit chat, and he told me.... ...  

Guess what i saw in Lille ....

My dream car !!! Financially waaaay out of my reach off course ... so i had to be 'content' with .... THIS !!!! Bim ...  

Was great to meet you there, my friend. As for the 205 GTI 1,9, I agree.

doesn't have to necessarily stay in Lille. ;)

On my way back from France, I was overtaken by my former dream car ...

... a similar "small bullet": the Renault 5 Turbo. I was astonished that some are still alive. Marcus

Beautiful

Nice to see such a random encounter. Its nice to see how this created a 'bond' between you both. Your P1800 next to the modern cars- well that is the evidence Nicolas: New cars are hideous. Sadly due to regulation they are look alike and equally awful. Lo... 

Well, I try to not drive it when it rains, of course.

But when the weather is fine, I can't resist. ;) Best, Edmond. Nicolas

Saw two in California this summer...

Although never at the same place. Both were driving by so I couldn't get a photo unfortunately. But what good fortune to see two at the same petrol station at the same time.

Almost never.... Same here in France. I saw less than 10 during these last 2 years.

If I count the three I saw at my garagist! But two at the petrol station, that never happened, and I doubt it will happen again before a long time! Best, Patrick. Nicolas.
