@Ravanelli it's in the itinerary e-mail
We ride!



I forgot my DSLR, if anyone would care to bring one and shutterbug the show'n'shine, I'd be much obliged
Would you let me know if you own or are taking your 242 GT to the meet. I'm keen to buy one and would love to talk to some current owners. Thanks. Ben

There will be mate. Happy to talk.
@BenH there will be a few 242 GTs at the meet
For those leaving on Sunday, the German Auto Day is on Sunday morning @ Pialligo Estate, and All Holden Day is on @ Queanbeyan Showground... if you're not car-showed-out...
I just saw off the Victorian/ Tasmanian contingent of the OzVolvo Nationals from Wallan. Have a great time and drive safe guys and girls.
Yes, will
Be at the Mercedes show; bought the CL up for it especially! Loads of fuel but it’s on its way
Cool. I'll be in the Maroon R129 SL500.

Tonight i'll be in the silver 205...

I turned around at Seymour and limped back to Melbourne with a pulley bearing starting to screech. Fark it. Thought about pushing on but the prospect of a massive tow truck bill and countless hours of that noise wasn't too appealing!

For any ozvolvo people still looking for digs, I've paid up two nights non-refundable hotel accomm in Narrabundah near Fyshwick (and Sat night dinner venue). Potentially transferable to another guest if I'm called by reception to authorise it. PM me for details if you want to have a crack

Enjoy the event!

I was thinking about you on the way home hoping you'd be fine. Sorry to hear that.

Sorry to hear it @dmm, I was looking forward to seeing how progress was on the 142 since id seen it last
First of all, welcome to Canberra to all the OzVolvo attendees this weekend.

Many of you have asked where the car washes are. The nearest to Alivio and the city, that is self serve without the traffic dramas, is Classic Car Wash in Lathlain St Belconnen, opposite Westfield Belconnen Mall.

From Alivio follow these directions:

• Once you’ve driven down the driveway (Kunzea St), turn right at the T junction onto Dryandra St
• At the roundabout, turn right onto Fairfax St
• At the traffic lights at the top of the hill, turn right onto Belconnen Way
• Follow Belconnen Way until you see Bunnings, turn right onto Lathlain St
• Follow Lathlain St past the Shell service station and Westfield, and the car wash will be on your, just before the T-junction.

Thank you! Been searching for a while online.
Found also, Brite Car Spa.. seems to be a very decent looking hand car wash.
$60 for a complete inside and out wash, wheels properly cleaned and a hand polish.
Won’t worry about the S60R but Mercedes will get a proper clean.. open at 9am will give them a shot

@priacrow if that's the one in Phillip you should swing past Ike's motors while you wait were at the workshop
Will do, might get the R down there too.
Both do need a good clean
