Hi guys there's a meeting in Perth,
First one - just to meet up ,outside Repco Highroad Willetton on Sunday the 26th at 2pm, then the first event – York motor show Sunday the 3rd July and a Curtain show early Sept.
The guy who has organised this is Yolo Williams, and has ties with the Vic club. I can pass on his mob no if you want any more info.

I will make the york show @gavinh but willeton unlikely. Ill look out for a bunch of volvos on the 3rd, what will you be driving?!
gavinh
I can't make it to York, (FIFO) I will be there on sunday. I have an 85 244, probably just get into the cat of 25+ years old, but will be taking the V70XC on Sunday. I could pm you Yollo's no if you want more info.

4 kids sport usually dominate the weekends for me @gavinh but the 3rd is start of school holidays so ill be leaving them all at home and going to York!
gavinh
@markc88 you taking the Gt?, would love to go but work, that's why I going on sunday. Through what I gather Yollo's runs a rally prep 122, and he has been in contact with 7/8 P1800 who are meeting up before hand and he's more than welcoming to other Volvo marks. I think they are aiming at a purely casually thing for the time being and as said before he's a Vic Volvo member. I have contacted them via email and are very welcoming as well.

Sounds like fun but my 240 still a work in progress, will go to the York show for a look though
gavinh
@TerryA yeah mines the same, hopefully get it over the pits the next month or so. Shame I can't make York. I've been meaning to go for years.
TerryA
What year is yours Gav
TerryA
Mines ready to inspect, just tossing up to license and then convert to 230FT or do the conversion then license
gavinh
Dothe ft conversion on the quiet
Ben
Yep, get it on the road first, convert then you have plenty of time for engineering after if desired.

Hi @gavinh 242gt in the shop for panel and paint atm. I should have the 142s club licensed by then but im likely to take a non-volvo!
TerryA
Next rotation should all catchup. mark bought my titans of my wife's V70 about 18months ago

Hoping the club takes off. I should be back living in Perth next year, it would be great to be part of the club again.

So there were 3 people turned up at a casual meet today at repco willetton, this might be a start of a club in WA?? Having a chat about things, i think we were in the understanding that its going to be purely a social thing if it takes off. As long as you own or have a interest in volvos from the 50's through to brand new and there was mentioned maybe doing runs with the saab club.
Yollo has booked 9 places for the york show and is more than welcoming to catching up with other volvo owners, and possably meeting up around 08.30 in midland before the show and driving up, unsure of were?
Anything else just ask.
@TerryA and anyone else in perth would be good to catch up and have a chat around the 15-17th of july.

Hi Gav sounds like a plan
