Hey all,

I know one or two people on here will be at the Volvo 600 event in York in a few weeks time...I was just wondering who else would be there and if so would you be able to share a picture of your car so that we can say hello if we see one another? Looks like it will be a 0900-1700 affair on 27/06 so no late night Netflix for me on the Saturday night

Yep,I shall be going[at least that's the plan] no pictures of my V70 though-I've hardly even seen it since last November when step daughter[who'll be coming with me]borrowed it! But it's a phase 1 on a V plate in silver[surprise,surprise]with laquer peeling on the o/s front wing and both o/s doors looking like a previous owner washed it with brillo pads! It's been like that since I bought it nearly 5yrs ago and it suits to keep it that way as I can park it anywhere without worrying over scratches/dents.

Yep. I'm going to be there. Computer skills limit me to point and poke, so a picture is a no,no. I pedal a 68 plate V90 R Design in bursting blue. Have a safe trip, looking forward to seeing faces old and new

We'll be there.

The plan was to take the 850R, but I've found a cracked fuel hose, various cracked and broken vacuum hoses plus I haven't finished the other stage 0 checks/repairs yet, let alone given it a proper clean. So I'm not sure it'll be ready in time - in which case we'll be in the S70 T5 which arguably is more distinctive being one of the last factory manual T5 S70s in Coral Red.

The 850R auto:
