http://ozvolvo.org/discussion/439/ebay-gumtree-740-turbo-nice-car-on-gumtree-i-spotted#latest This is a nice car, but I hope however buys it doesn't take it...

SPT940

Like my 960 Wagon! Its officially a shit box now.
Got it back together, then the Cat crapped itself. Literally shot metal out of the exhaust!. Glowed red hot. Runs like its on 5 cylinders. Emmission warning light. Think the O2 sensor has died too. So will bring the 940. Better get up early and give it a spit & polish!!!!

Sorry that I could not make it. Something come up at home. How was the event, boys?

irishbastard

Yea it wasn't bad, their were a lot of nice cars there. :)

Rob

did you get any photos @irishbastard

Vee_Que

I didn't bother taking volvo photos. Heaps of others though :s

irishbastard

Sorry guys, Nope, plenty of people took photos of me and my car but no one put pics up onto the Volvo club of victoria website, apparently it usually takes a month and a half for them to be sorted then posted

irishbastard

Sorry about that rob, if i can get my hands on some of them I'll send them to you⌛️, I'm hoping to find some because I'd like to see myself at the event, lol

I managed to get out there for a 1 1/2 hours at the end of the day. Basicaly right as they were handing out awards for the day. Well worth the trip and now that I know what to expect, I will be hopefully bringing my (soon to be aquired) 140 next year.

I took a shite load of photos, but managed to screw them all up! I only managed to get a few random car at the end once I realised what I'd done. I have a nice new Fuji X100 and haven't really gotten used to the manual controls... they were all blown out!

No 140's X( and only one 164. A load of 240's there and they were all very tidy cars! I didn't get to meet him, but I think it was Mark? who had a white 244 that I loved. Some exquisite 1800's too! :)

Rob

I just wish it was closer

Rob

Biggest problem with my 164...To take it somewhere it would be appreciated is so far it is almost out of the question.

I took a few photos on my way out the door in the Brit section. A nice Healy and a MG TC?

You're all sacked as Unofficial Volvo Photographers... :(|)

I couldn't make it this year either, it's normally a good day. I don't get really into the showing but I park my car in the display and have a wonder around for a couple hours. So no-one got any pictures of the Volvo display??

Any new cars this year? It always seems to be the same few super clean cars that steal the show

irishbastard

Yea mine was one of the new cars new cars there this year

I know, seriously. I was going to throw a few of the blown out images up anyway and just realised I've already deleted them.

Darc (@irishbastard) I think I saw you just as you were leaving. I heard your accent and based on your nickname, I pretty sure that was you. I was the tall, exceptionally good looking guy in the red hat.

I was the short person driving the black Volvo 740 turbo out of the event @crabolsky140

Only if you care for going for the award. I didn't bother as most cars didn't interest me past one or two cars I liked.

X100s are great! You could have recovered the exposure in Lightroom. Shoot RAW and you have more to play with....
The pics posted are very good!
