bigal Extra points go to the volvo folk on the camp trip that arrive with a roof rack and a beard! Not sure what the points will get you.. I'll organise a prize.
darcher93 Roof rack yes, beard no. Unfortunately my beard growing skills are lacking. Could possibly conjure up the old socks and sandals combo.
bigal Just having a hard think about it. Will put a date forward tomorrow. It's looking now between christmas and new years or mid to late jan.
Vee_Que bigal;90030 wroteNot a volvo but just some inspiration for you all for the great lake camping trip. How relaxing does this look! Your suspension seems to have broken, that would stress me.

volvodriverman Invasion day is on a Thursday opening up the Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun long weekend option perhaps? Chances are I'll be unable to get away from the vineyard but it's a nice spot for a visit if anyone's up this way.
Major Ledfoot bigal;92216 wroteHow does Jan 28 sound? Looks good to me. Is January 28 going to be The Official Date for Big A's Weekend Wagon Adventure? Need to plan and book stuff and be ready for this if so.
Major Ledfoot bigal;94976 wrote Jan 28 it is. Purrfect. The bookings can begin. What is the proposed locale?
bigal I think meet at longford mid morning and cruise up to the lakes from there. U going to explore tassie while you're here?
Major Ledfoot We plan to do a very brief explore, as time will be a bit tight for us. So more of a quick look, since I'd love to take at least a couple of weeks exploring Tas.
bigal Have any mainlanders booked to come to Tassie on the 28th? My 145 needs its bushes all replaced before it will get road worthy. It will not pass inspection as it is. I have all the brakes sorted now so getting there. Going to be cutting it fine to have it ready by 28th now but can always take the xc90. @1971_144GL 's 142 may not be ready either but can arrange hopefully another Volvo to bring along. @bgpzfm142 have you booked? If so then lets do the camping trip. @rik should be in as all his Volvos work.
Major Ledfoot bigal;95889 wrote @Major Ledfoot have you booked? Thanks for the reminder - need to get the Spirit sorted.
1971_144GL I was trying to get my 142 ready, only to find very low compression on number 3. No obvious cause yet, so it looks like cylinder head removal is on the to do list now. Not sure the car will make it. Still, it will be fun anyway to catch up an talk Volvo.
bigal Longford in the late morning on 28th for coffee then head up the hill for an explore and setup. Looking forward to it.
