Wherever the national is being held next year, May/June time, and £20/year to join the VOC (incl 8 spiffy magazines

)

Be warned though, there are some VERY clean cars out there...they just didn't turn up this year

cheers

Yeah, the autumn 2005 issue is probably worth a fortune now. It has a glorious full-clour centrefold featuring our esteemed 'Accessories and tuning' moderator. Priceless!

PV, 1800, 120, 140/160, 200, 300, 400, 700, 900, 66, S/V40, 850, S/V/C70, S60, S80, working cars, Pre MOT, non standard.

The competition is Best Kept Volvo, not Best Looking Volvo or Best Volvo or Nicest Volvo etc.

Basically it must be as close to original condition as possible either through originality or restoration.

To be perfectly honest we all stand a better chance in the 'non standard' class as most of our cars have deviated from original spec if only by the fitment of alloys.

Only thing non stock on mine will be GLT alloys.

They'll not notice that

The bad news is that one of only two 300s in the 'masters' class is a 360 GLS...but the good news is that a car in the masters class can't enter the 'normal' 300 series class

Why I won is a bit of a mystery, given that my car is less than mint and far from original. Maybe the judging has become a little more progressive, or maybe they were working on the basis that I had carried out the modifications in a spirit of originality. Maybe they were trying to shut me up after I slated the way it was organised the previous year

cheers

Don't push it

I can't think of anything unoriginal on our car, except the seat covers, but they'll whip off

Looks like I need to join. I just looked on the VOc and it seems that the National Rally 2006 will be at Lyndon Top, Rutland Water on Sunday 18th June 2006. Unfortunatly that's over 200 miles from home

I don't want to put 400 miles on her, she's still done under 29k in total...

Post by **foggyjames** » 01 Nov 2005 03:11 pm

Haha...get a tow to within 10 miles

Usage does a car good, y'know

cheers

See its all very well having a beautiful example, but whats the point when you can't use it

Post by **SoLaMaNdA** » 01 Nov 2005 07:30 pm

MJ - Mine had 29k when I got it in June, passed 34k on sunday...

Post by **Chris_C** » 01 Nov 2005 08:42 pm

Mine had 80k on it, now 120something

Erm.... you lot sure you all want to enter? I mean... it's just silly.... plus I'll then never win

Students dont get any better. When they are away from home they have no idea where the toilet is.

Don't you agree Mick?

I like the idea of taking a heap of junk.
BTW did you notice a very unwashed 240 estate last year?

Post by **Chris_C** » 01 Nov 2005 08:46 pm

That 200 was epic

Do I remember I funky trailer too?

Post by **classicswede** » 01 Nov 2005 08:52 pm

Thats the one.
Last washed 10,000 miles ago aprox 2 months.

The trailer has seen better days and is due for a freshen up soon and so is 240!
