    Is it wild if I'm wanting to make the trip from WA?, always wanted to attend would be a true test of my Spotify playlists that's for sure hehe

    Anyone else from WA considering it?, lets Convoy..

      Ardwerks Not at all.
      Detour through VIC on your way home. There's a spare room here.

        Appreciate it mate, definitely going to prepare for this one. Hopefully there is an award for longest distance travelled at the Show N' Shine haha

          Here I was thinking the trip from Adelaide might be further than most, but that would be a well-earned trophy! 😃

          Anyone got recommendations for family-sized accomodation nearby?

          I don't think we've ever had someone drive from WA before. We had some WA folk at the 2018 show but I think they flew over!

          Keen! Time to get one of my 240s on the road. Haven't made it to a meet yet after signing up in 2015, now working for myself so I'll be able to swing it this year. I'm about 30 minutes south of Adelaide.

            Stubanger I'm a bit of an infrequent flyer/attendee too.

            I did 2015 and 2018, so am overdue for a visit.

            I brought this in 2015 -

            This in 2018 -

            And I'll bring this one this year -

            Damn I would like to join in, but I'm already locked in for Volvo Victoria Club event in Echuca this year.

            Canberra ACT was definitely my wish-list way back in 2022 after Sawtell.

            I hope 24 Oz Volvo Nat will be the blast, and if there's 2025 on November. I'll be there… ☺️

            I'm debating doing both but being a week apart I may not get to Echuca, though we (DVS Performance Parts) are a sponsor for the Volvo Car Clubs of Australia National Rally this year.
            Accomodation with friends in Canberra is a little hard to pass up as well - it serves as a good excuse to catch up with them.

              AshDVS I could do both but I have to use wisely my annual leave and accumulate for my next 2025 Tassie Travel and 2026 Philippines Travel.
