[mas]

I've only put the alledged definates at the top, we're not politicians so I wont 'inflate the figures' :saint:

[Libra]

In theory I should be able to make it.

[mas]

I hope so , the more the merrier as they say :P ,
as an aside I drove through Beds today on the A507 route then over the M1 and on to Promax near Milton Keynes. You can't be too far from the Silver Ball I suspect ?

Regards Mas

[Libra]

No, probably about twenty minutes or less :D

[mas]

20 mins !!! , you should be able to make yourself a definate then not a maybe :buttkick:

[Libra]

20 mins !!! , you should be able to make yourself a definate then not a maybe :buttkick:

When I said it would take me 20 minutes, I think I was telling porkies. It will probably take me more like 50 minutes.

[siamblue]

Can you put me down as a provisional, not sure what the missus has planned for the 23rd.

Gary

[mas]

Hopefully you can make it :duck:

Mas

[Libra]

Morning, Mas, can you please change my maybe to a definite. :)

[mas]

Great news Libra is now a defo ! , let's hope this meet isnt a one off :shy:

[The Flying Moose]

Hi folks appologies but I wont be able to make this meet any longer, I simply havn't got the money to put fuel in the car this month :(

[mas]

Sorry to here that m8ee on both counts. I don't suppose anyone else from your way is coming.

Hopefully we wont get any more blowouts as there seem to be about 8 cars due at the mo including yours truly in his rather bog standard T5 estate. It would be nice to meet as many fellow forum members as poss.

Regards

Mas

[castellsmith123]

[Vikingxl]

Walk then lol

Hopefully im still going to be there but so far this week is a nightmare

[mas]

So far a no money and a no knee , am I getting a feeling of impending doom :wtf:

[Vikingxl]

People will be there well us two anyway lol

[mas]

So i'm bringing the good looks and charm to the party what are you bringing :ylusy:

My bike if its sunny and i will see if i can get the neighbours "special" cow in the boot if i bring the xc lol

[Libra]

I am looking forward to going being as it will b my first, let me say that again, my first Volvo car meet.

Am I right in thinking that we have to dress wearing jeans, Barbouor shirt, loafers and Trilby or will that just be me :P

[mas]

Errr don't know but it wont be me :redface:

I have been to several car meets / events from the well arranged to the very informal but never a Volvo one I have to say. Amazingly the T5 , old and usually dirty though she is ( no jokes please) , is now clearly my favourite car so its about time we all started meeting up !

Thats what im wondering, this'll be my first Volvo meet, have done the Jap meets & the MG meets but never a Volvo one - am i having to turn up, head to toe in beige???

[Vikingxl]

Ask Storm Troll for some dressing up tips ive heard he has all sorts in his closet

[Crazy_C]

I will check what shift I am working on Sunday (forgot to make a note of next weeks rotas the other day when they went up) and I will let you know then if I am definitely there or not.

Hopefully I'm not working :D

[Crazy_C]

Awww, booo, I'm working on Sunday so can't come along :( Totally sucks!! Hope y'all have a good meet though :)

[siamblue]

HI Guys the missus has got me going to a car boot on Sunday even the dog can't go to that, what time are you all going to be there till? i might hit the car boot at 8am lol,

Gary

[mas]

Fascinating though my company is , I shouldnt think it would be long in to the afternoon :funkybana

Regards Mas

[Libra]

Well that was a really really good meet...not. I am quite frankly ashamed that there was only two of us in the car park. I traveled 83miles round trip out of my way and I am currently unemployed just to go to this meet.

The members that put their names down that did not turn up should hang their heads in shame as you have let the club down and not to mention Mas and his family and myself.

Enough ranting, here are a few photos of the VPCUK meet today...not sure why I am even bothering posting these...its a joke.

It was nice to meet you Mas, Tracy and children and I like your 'swiss watch' :)

Until next time,

Darren

[mas]

I knew Viking wasnt coming as he had probs to deal with and I'm sure we will meet him in the future but , yes it was rather bad that only Darren showed up. A quick P.M or post to say your not coming is just good manners really.

Apologies to Darren for having only the lovely Mrs Mas
and my gorgeous self :ylusy: to meet. I did feel embarrased that you travelled all that way. On the good side it was nice to meet you and your lovely car , hopefully we will see you at Knebworth or similar and won't be strangers again !

Our family and dog transporting 'waggon' did look rather shamefull next to your more 'show orientated' , shiney car but I have to say I still genuinely love the 'speedy swede' :biggrin: . It just goes to show you why e bay and autotrader pics can be misleading as our car looks fab in your pics.

Tatt average on te looks she is ( the car not the wife) but Hamish description of several years ago still applies , Swiss Watch is still an accurate description of that superb engine. I havnt herd one any better of any age. !

It was also interesting to see how many more subtle touches the S60R has than I had realised. Even the R on the wheels wasnt something I was aware of , neither was the detail of the headlights. If the government wasnt shafting us completely re the petrol I would of course love to drive to work in one myself.

Regards Mas

[Okete]

That is a pity.

I am sorry that I was unable to be there, however I will not be hanging my head in shame!
I am currently having a brand new engine fitted into my V10 and it has just not been fitted in time, thus I am car-less this weekend.
I could've come along on my pushbike but that kind of defeats the object!

If I'd known the turn out was going to be so poor - I would've, I live close enough!!

I didn't declare my absence sooner because I didn't want to add to the 'sinking ship' syndrome that seemed to be developing.

Many apologies to Mas.

Cheers,
John.

[Mrsmastiffs]

It was lovely to meet you Darren and your car is a credit to you - shame you weren't closer as mine could definately do with a bit more TLC :) Still, your pics have made the old girl look good :)

[Libra]

It was nice to meet you Mrs Mas.

[castellsmith123]

I did say that I could not come! Something to do with my leg being in plaster being a problem! And it look's like it's been a nice day as well!!

[Vikingxl]

i contacted mas a few days ago as something came up that stopped me attending. In fact i have been on the road since four this morning and have just got in the door. People should do the decent thing and let people know and its a shame that only two cars made it.

[Knight Rider]

Sorry guys - i shall hang my head in shame. Went karting last nights with the boys 2hr endurance race Le Mans style, but threw my back out on the unsupported seats - spent the best part of the day flat out on the couch un able to move : (
