That's what we did last year, went straight from the meet to Cornwall for a few days.

[Biff]

That's what we did last year, went straight from the meet to Cornwall for a few days.

I really want to take them down to Cornwall this year, I doubt I'll be going abroad for a few years as we don't like leaving the dog & we can't really travel light with the little un & his gear. Lol

[Biff]

Holiday booked!
We'll be staying in Weymouth for a week starting the Saturday 9th.
I'll be at the show so be good to put names to faces.

[Biff]

I'll show then but I certainly won't be winning or happy with the standard my car is. Lol

[stribo]

I'll show then but I certainly won't be winning or happy with the standard my car is. Lol

It's not a show competition like BKV, there are a few trophies given out, but the normally go to Saabs.

[JamesT5]

The Boss has signed my holiday form off so I'm good to come along. :D

[The Thong]

The Boss has signed my holiday form off so I'm good to come along. :D

[volvokid]

No, I mean 'R' (really!). :D It's ok, I'll be starting a thread at some point.....

[JamesT5]

But don't panic, I'll bring the D5 to the Swedish day... with the Amaltheas fitted to it. :)

[Harvey]

Lol good point, back on topic, who's for meeting up at Sparkford Maccy D's?

I know someone who will be there :)

[Sharkey R]

I know someone who will be there :)

Me for a wrap and coffee :)

[JamesT5]

I'll probably go to the Mill directly, I wouldn't keep up with you all in a 163 D5.... :D

[JUDGENINJA]

Looks like this will be the first event for the 960...

[JamesT5]

Just under 2 weeks to go. :D

[JUDGENINJA]

Bugger leaves me with 2 weeks to sort the 960!!

[Harvey]

Less than a week now.

[Biff]

List of jobs on the car getting smaller! Lol

[Harvey]

Nearly here ...

[The Thong]

I'm already just down the road in Ilminster..... Going for a ride to Weymouth today, seaside hit for the Thonglets. See you all tomorrow

[M-R-P]

[JUDGENINJA]

Meet you there then... Seems like no convoy across from here..

[Ettienne]

Meet you there then... Seems like no convoy across from here..

There would have been 4 of us plus you.

[MoleT-5R]

There would have been 4 of us plus you.

what happened Steve you washing your hair instead...?


hope all going have a nice day and get plenty of pics up for those of us that will be unable to make it

[Harvey]

Lol good point, back on topic, who's for meeting up at Sparkford Maccy D's?


So do we have a time to get there ?.

[jamesy12345]

I'm here already, great location, Otter ale on at the bar...can't see many Volvos but many Saabs

[Harvey]

I'm here already, great location, Otter ale on at the bar...can't see many Volvos but many Saabs

See you tomorrow then have a drink or too.

[jamesy12345]

See you tomorrow then have a drink or too.

Just the one the bairn is here) see u in the morn & Martin too by the sound of it!

[JamesT5]

Sorry guys, I'm pulling out. I've had a mini crisis working on the V70R today and I'm just not ready for tomorrow.

[claymore]

Sorry guys, I'm pulling out. I've had a mini crisis working on the V70R today and I'm just not ready for tomorrow.

That statement makes little sense, I thought you were going in the S60, all it needs is fuel and drive, what's to get ready?

[Ettienne]

what happened Steve you washing your hair instead...?


hope all going have a nice day and get plenty of pics up for those of us that will be unable to make it

A few of us declined to go, but we have brooklands on the 24th of may.

Plus Norse day at ace cafe and the re start of the southern meet soon.

[The Thong]

Well Chaps, the Volvo turn out was low but still worth the trip. It was good to put some names to faces. Roll on BKV

TT

[abdul]

Any pictures

[The Thong]

Still to upload em

TT

[JUDGENINJA]

Any pictures

Later... Still driving home(stopped for a coffee and toilet)... SAABS definitely outnumbered the Volvo's this year. Some good quality cars and of those of out that turned up we had fun...


Beautiful PV544 won and it was well deserved. I heard MRP's Volvo got atleast one vote from a 7yr old.

[Biff]

Mrs Biffs nan died on Friday night. Gutted I missed it & gutted our holiday has been cut short.
600 miles in 36 hours was no bother for the Volvo though.

[Harvey]

Did take a couple .

Sorry to hear this Biff. :(
Love to you and your Mrs from all here, I'm sure.

Regarding the show, was that all the Volvos that showed up?
Jamesy's is probably there somewhere, like.

[JUDGENINJA]

Biff - agreeded with above... Sorry to hear bad news like this..


Harvey's photos are at the end of the day when MRP and I moved across to take a couple of photos together.. The total number of Volvo's certainly was down on previous years, but there were some nice cars there... The 500BHP Saab cleaned up again, but I think he could every year.

I'm just uploading the Breakfast club photos (205 of them and still 100 to go), then it'll start on today's.

[jamesy12345]

Great to meet Harvey, Judgeninja, MRP & Mr TT...sorry lads I buggered off early cos of long drive back...looked for you but only found Scott (guy with S reg V70) to say ta-taa

The location & day was great although yeah a bit light on Volvos!

We were wondering where you were Biff, sorry to hear this

[JUDGENINJA]

We did notice, but no bother!!! Great to see you made the effort anyway.

[stephenevans99]

Sounds like we had all the Volvos at the Oil Can ;) lol

[jamesy12345]

We did notice, but no bother!!! Great to see you made the effort anyway.

Didn't get home til after 9...picked up some crystal/C70 lights on the way home though, from Acidic Davey

[Biff]

Yeah cheers boys. Spent most of Thursday night polishing not that you would know now.
Timing couldn't of been any better, but she didn't like me anyway. Lol
The mrs is upset as can be imagined but we will live. Hoping to get a refund on the 6 nights we didn't use but hopefully go back in the summer as the site was lovely!
Maybe I can attend a southern meet instead?
Wayne your 960 looks awesome!!
Looks like a good show!
Jamesy I'm not jealous of your headlights, honest!!
