Volvo Owners meet.. Quainton, Bucks ****PICS ADDED****

Post by Rachel » Sat Jun 14, 2008 6:00 pm

I know it's short notice, but only just found out from folk turning up in Volvo's to stay at my local B&B. Volvo Owners Club at Quainton Steam railway Museum tomorrow. I feel I must represent the 480 so I'll be there....fortunately was cleaning her when I was told so she'll be looking good ;) I know there isn't many people here in my area but I thought I would let you know just in case.

I think thats it! It was a really good meet...very friendly and fully recommended to anyone wishing to go next time. You got free entry to the next door Steam Railway Museum also.
A great club all in all.
Hello to Chris (if you read this). He has had his 480 for 19 years and is a member here :D
This forum certainly does seem to have a great reputation :hopping:
Maybe next year we could represent the 480 some more :D

Nice to see some Pics, Meet has been publicised on other fourms, I can't do links yet, as not enough posts.

Hi Rachel!

I really enjoyed the day too and am glad you did - although it was a bit hectic organising the judging.

If only I could win the lottery, (and aside from buying a supercar) my trusted 480 would be well and truly restored to its former glory!

To me one of the great strengths of the Volvo marque and community is when everyone works together for our common aim - the love of Volvos!

I have lost count of the number of people I have recommended to this site over the years, and the advice too that I have had.

Having now re-found my passwords, I am just about to post a 'technical question'!

Kind regards

Chris

Hello Chris...I think I saw you again going through Waddesdon in the evening..I think I flashed. I thought that line up was great...the first one I have put my 480 in.
Nice to bump into you here also :D

Hello Chris...(Dancing Demon). Very nice to see you have found your way back! It was all very unexpected for me, but very well worth it. Some great cars there. I will definitely go to the next one!

Ahhh... that was you! I did try and wave back, but by the time I think you'd passed!

A few of us from V3M and TBricks went to the local just down the road afterwards ;)

Just checking in from Volvo300Mania...

Someone in a 480 flashed at me (in the blue 343 with the black bonnet) in Waddesdon...I guess it was you!

cheers

cheers
