All booked in for the Show and Shine on Saturday with Big Red……if things go skew whiff, I'll bring the V40 and advise you of the change.

Be nice to have some company in case the wheels fall off!! 😂

Just got back from the OzVolvo Show 'n 'Shine. A perfect day for looking at a lot of Volvos. Highlights for me were the P1800S, P1800ES, C70 (1st gen), 3 x S60R (1st gen) all in a row, a pristine 960, 242 V8, V70 V8, C70R AWD 2nd gen, and the 2-series coupé. All the cars showed the care and attention of dedicated owners.

For keen OzVolvo people, I've uploaded 192 photos for viewing. I've not sorted these into any order and some cars are repeated. This is the link:

You can choose to view the photos as a list or thumbnails.

Cheers

I feel very validated by this comment. Did you know they were sequential years, 2003/04/05? I asked @Maximus to make sure they ended up together.

No, didn't realise they were a series – remarkable. Sorry I didn't get a photo of the three from the front. I used to have an S60 AWD MY2004 – crashed it in 2019 & insurer wrote it off, but still miss it. My last photos were of another S60R which was in a nearby car park. It looks very nicely enhanced – could have won an award. Do you know which year it might be ?

Sorry to miss everyone up at Mt Ainslie this morning.

I wasn't fully aware of the change of plan - I was going to skip the cruise (because noisy thrust and spigot bearings, plus city traffic) and headed straight to the lookout.

Hope everyone is recovering after last night. Time to head south and towards The Barge.

Safe travels home to all.

jamesinc

Major Ledfoot glad I got to see this absolute beauty

Major Ledfoot

jamesinc - thank you.

Are there any Oz Volvo Nationals '240 stickers still available?

jamesinc

Major Ledfoot yessir, can you send me a msg with your post deets and $5 and I'll send one out (if you didn't receive one on Saturday at all, ignore the $5 as your registration fee included an event sticker)

deNs

jamesinc

Where were the event stickers? I only noticed the regular OzVolvo ones at the marquee. Thanks for organising btw, and hope you've recovered. This message is a little belated as we only got home yesterday 😅

jamesinc

deNs they should have been in all the showbags!
