I’ll be bringing the banana boat, which will hopefully be sporting lots of built engine turbo goodness by then

I've been out of the 'Volvo' loop for some time but have always remained an owner. My current is an XC60 R Design which I'm pretty stoked with. Is this type of vehicle allowed to enter for the 'show and shine' segment? Cheers

    beema41 welcome back to the fold!
    There's a Show 'n' Shine category to fit every Volvo, so no worries there.

      @beema41 very much welcome. If Volvo made it, it belongs in the show!

      There's a trophy category for XC models: The XC Award for eXCellence, which I added a few years ago specifically to get those modelsa bit more recognition 🙂

        jamesinc it’s definitely Volvo made as it’s got the Swedish built plate. 😉

          I’ve completed the registration and booked a cabin at Alivio’s.

          I’m going to the Volvo Club national rally at Echuca and I’ll be coming to Canberra on the way back from Victoria. It’ll be a good 10 day road trip. I can’t wait!

          beema41 I should've mentioned that both my boys have or are in the process of getting their licences and you wouldn't believe it they're into Volvo's too. The older boy wants a 240 and the younger wants a later model S40 or similar. Now I'm regretting getting rid of my 3 x 240's I had laying around as unfinished projects.

              beema41 One of your former 240s (the red one, now known as Reddington) might yet make an appearance at this year's Oz Volvo, if I get it ready in time. That car's body has zero rust and was simply too good to scrap.

              It even started up after sitting for years, right after the dead fuel pumps were changed!

                I remember you and Rob stopping in Armidale one year - just mentioned it to the boss and I think it would have been around 2016?

                There is a temptation to come down now we have a Volvo again....

                    Just registered. Will hopefully be doing Echuca and then heading home via Canberra for Ozvolvo. Will be bringing the 245. Id best get out into the garage and sort it out.

                    If it had the 2.4 5 cylinder diesel engine it would be at least part way to being a P80 diesel...

                    We will be there in our finally finished 2008 Volvo V70 V8!

                    @jamesinc At the 2022 Coffs event there wasn't a category for voting that included the '08+ V70 (aka P3) - It should sit with the '07+ S80 and '11+ S60/V60, XC60 category- if that could please be included this time 😃
