would anyone be up for going along with there volvos?

i was going to be going with my usual modded car club.

but thought we could maybe drag some volvos down under the V3M club

according to my sources its £6 a car

passengers are free.

let see if we can get a small gathering together.

it was a good day out last year, plenty of cars and so on. mainly all boy racer cars, but there was a gt40 last year ralli art evo. supercharged capri and so on hanging arround.

so any intrest and i'd look at getting a plot

you'd all ahev to pay up soon as before the may deadline though as thats what secures our plot. and i'd have to head down early enough to sort out are area if we do it.

Was this show at Crealy park on the outskirts of Exeter a year or two back? I was going to say I'd not heard of it, but second thoughts I may have.

I may be interested in popping along, although Chav cars aren't exactly my thing ;)

If I do decide to come, I think the car would be staying in the car park rather than going into the show though

A few of my buddies go each year with South West Cruisin', or whatever it's called at the moment. If I was still based in Devon, I'd be there for sure...but I'm not :( It is mainly 'cruise' scene orientated, from what I understand, but there's only one way to change that. :)

I really must get to Run To The Sun one year...how about that?

cheers

Hi there :D :D :D
See my pictures at

if you want to see more then cars...
Might take a while to load up.
The show has very few old skool motors, but some good modified 300s would be good especially Adam's 16V.
But always take a good camera along and don't just look at the cars!
2012 Fiat Panda Twin Air
1995 Peugeot Harmony Autosleeper 1.9D
2023 Royal Enfield Himalayan
