  • Oz Volvo National Meet 2018 - Canberra ACT

Got back home at about 4:30PM.
Again, excellent event. I met a few new faces, didnt get to meet equally as many - thats just further incentive to go along again next year.
Did a little over 1800kms across the weekend.
Looked like an excellent turnout. Hope to make it next year. Any ideas where it might be?

Haven't given it much thought. Blue Mtns and NSW mid-north coast are appealing.
@jamesinc who was taking photos as we left black mountain tower? I saw @Philia_Bear down at reconciliation place

The Perth/Melbourne crew, Kingsley, Shawntelle, and Ben. I'm trying to track down one of them, I have Ben's email

It was hard work, but I found Kingsley

Sorry to hear this. :( We were wondering what happened to you.

We are now back home at Residence One, and we may look at starting up an official Tasmanian Volvo club in the next few months. Who knows - maybe the 2019 Oz Volvo Nationals could be in Van Diemen's Land ....
We did have a failure of Rob Probin's 245. But Tim from Ike's got it sorted out, I had the parts needed in the shed, and my 245 gave up it's crank angle sensor for it as well. Caught up with Rob yesterday, he got home without issue and is a very happy man. There were a number of items that needed replacement, but this week's work should ensure his car will continue for quite a while yet.
@bgpzfm142 I would definitely lend Oz Volvo support to such an event, I'd love to do tassie but organising it from Sydney with a full-time job is just a logistical impossibility for me.
Sweet! Might see if I can enlist the assistance of @bigal, @1971_144GL, @GingerNinja and others if it's going to happen.
@darcher93 would know a thing or two about down there too
I’d be looking more at 2020 for tassie as the last 2 years have been south of Sydney, one being in Victoria, also being the fact that it will be in Tassie, it gives everyone time to really plan and save for the holiday plus it means that the planning for such an event can be perfect.
Personally I’d love to see north of Sydney or Blue Mountains, Dubbo even.
the volvo club of Victoria tried to sort a trip for Tazzi it fell on its arse 1 month before departure , so keep it to the mainland
Can help with down south meets if the people are keen.
I'll put in a vote for a Tassie meet, I'm looking at doing a trip there soon anyway, hopefully in a Volvo, so I could make the meet form part of the trip.
I’d go but it’d be on a motorbike, wouldn’t want to waste those roads trapped in a car.
