No for the 20 odd kids we've got turning up for his party, they might be disappointed to find no one home. ;)

He came with us 2 years ago to the inaugural event, boy was it cold that day.

It's time for a Cosford 2016 update.

Here is the plan for the day;

Gates open at 10.00am

1) Police interceptor and check point welcomes you to the meet...a good talking point photo to show your Friends and family ����

2) Register your car at the VT Event Tent. This is important to register your car for the long distance and high mileage trophies. ����

3) This year we want you to vote for the cars that receive trophies, so please ensure you pick up your voting form and return this back to the Event Tent before 13:00.

The Awards up for grabs are:

Best AWD car
Best RWD car
Best FWD car
Longest distance traveled to the meet
Highest mileage car
And the all important Best car is show.

Remember it's up to you how you vote, sometimes the best car may not always be clean or pristine, it may simply be different or it's a car that really floats your boat.

4) The VT parts line will be open and running from the start of the meeting at 10:00am and remain open till 16:00.

How does the parts line work? Simply if you have parts for sale write them on a card and peg them to the line. If your interested in buying parts ring the number on the car and deal.....simple.....VT will supply the line, the pegs that hold the cards to the line and the pens to write the detail into the card with.......obviously you supply the parts.

5) The guys from Demond Dents will be in hand to correct those small parking dents, and we'll be raising money for charity with a raffle, please support us in the quest.

6) At 13:00 we will also hold our first ever car limbo competition to find who has the lowest Volvo. It's like a Limbo completion for cars.....in fact that's exactly what it is.....it's a limbo competition for cars....here at VT, we're interested to see how low you can go !!

7) At 14:00 we'll come back together to announce the winners of the awards.

8) From 15:00 onwards we'll be organising the group photos.

This leaves plenty of time to eat, meet and walk around the museum which is simply awesome and free to enter.
This day always passes quickly so come early and leave as late as you can.

Remember Cosford is wheelchair and family friendly with plenty of areas to teat and buy food. ����

More information will be announced as we get nearer the date so please keep watching the boards. Please share and like and encourage other Volvo owners you may know to come along....all are welcome ����

I enjoyed this last year! One of the few times the 240 turbo came out! Sadly I won't be able to make it this year :( the mrs has booked us to do the Zipworld ZipWire in Bethesda on the Sunday, then to the pub!

Enjoy guys!

Here is a cheeky sneak look of the quality glassware up for grabs and a reminder of how you guys get to vote for your favourite cars on the day.

1) Register your car at the VT Event Tent. This is important to register your car for the long distance and high mileage trophies. (Ferry crossings also count in the mileage total).

2) This year we want you to vote for the cars that receive trophies, so please ensure you pick up your voting form and return this back to the Event Tent before 13:00.

The awards are;

Best AWD car
Best RWD car
Best FWD car
Longest Distance traveled to the meet
Highest mileage car, speedo will be checked to verify.
And the all important Best Car of the Show.

In addition, this year we have two extra awards for;

1) best ex police car.

Tim Hinton will be voting for his favourite car on the day, this is the only way I can guarantee he does not vote for his own car, (T274 RWK and R775 FJE are exempt) ������

2) An award for the lowest Volvo in our Volvo Limbo competition will be scientifically awarded based on my Stanley retractable tape measure. ����

Remember!! ...it's up to you how you vote, sometimes the best car may not always be a clean or pristine example, it may simply be different or it's a car that just floats your boat.

With Cosford 2016 just a week away, VT are pleased to announce that with your help, we'll be raising funds for Help for Heroes, a charity that provides practical, direct support to OUR wounded, injured & sick members of the Armed Forces...truly a worthy cause. So how are we going to do it?

As you arrive next Sunday at Cosford, you'll immediately be faced with VT's very own Police Interceptors.

Keep Calm and Make no Sudden Movements.

They'll instruct you to pull over T-Pack style, you'll be instructed to exit your vehicle in order to place a £2 Donation/Bribe into the Help for Heroes charity box. We will be taking Photographic Evidence to record the generous gesture. A rare opportunity to get your car photographed with VT's Interceptors. Cheesy Smile is optional.

At Woodvale, you helped raise £130 for the ABF (Army Benevolent Fund), we aim to smash this and raise £250+...but we can't do this without you. We kindly ask you to have a shiny £2 coin to hand as you arrive to drop into the Charity Bucket....failure to comply may see you in the naughty corner with the Renaults and Vauxhalls!!

A Shiny £2 Coin that will guarantee Support for Our Wounded.

Be Volvo, Be Charitable....it's the VT way !!

Attended this event for the first time today, got there about 10.30 and had a wander round, some great cars on show.

Nice to meet colin (claymore) and his manic twin engined "T10", sounded absolutely nuts from the rear, thought i was going to get blown across the grass at one point.
Great stuff. :)

It was my first time at a Volvo meet as well and had a great time, met so many nice people and asked and received great advice. Nice to finally put faces to names. Thanks again for putting this together.
