Excellent! you should be well into the 14s with a less wheel spinny run! I was seriously impressed with it and cheers for the spin, the trap speed and time are very promising!

Yep, also thanks for the spin in that beast of a car! Absolutely incredible. Control the wheelspin and those runs will be shockingly quick, they're
quick as it is! Excellent work!

Thanks for the ride in the Komfort Waggon Griz! That thing handles so well! Glad to see so many people there. I'll get my pics on here later hopefully. That was a great turn out, think we can get as many for the National car park meet?

Right, some pictures from the day, not great I'm afraid, got chatting more and never really used the camera much! I hope I speak for all in saying it was a very successful and enjoyable meet.

The car park invasion!

We certainly got some funny looks as people realised just how many 300's there were in that car park!

(R-L) V6Man's 960 and Griz's 945 Komfort Waggon!

Pettaw's engine bay, temporarily swapped B200E.

Oliver Kinchin's very red 340.

The crew from the North heading home in convoy. (L-R) SteveP, Dekay and V6Man

SteveP heading home.

Ali and his nice 400 wheels.

340 GLT's very nicely customised car.

Jim101c's low mileage 360 GLT.

Richard Dodds of Friends of the Volvo 300 and the VOC with his immaculate 340 attented the meet. The car is a real credit to him.

(L-R)Pettaw's GLE i SE and ChrisC's 340.
Thanks to everyone who came for making it a great day, hope everyone got home safely and enjoyed MK!

Nice turnout!
Good to see so many 300's and some larger battleships together.

MickT gets the award for person with most cars at one meet! living in Milton Keynes he managed to bring two cars to the meet!
Award for dirtiest car was close between Pettaw and myself! I think my authentic Bucks farm mud swayed it, a missing front mud flap never helps.
Cleanest car, well many very clean examples, though i think Richard Dodds immaculate car would win that one!
Most grin inducing car has to be Huskyracers 340! Well, I say 340, what I mean is 340 turbo!

Everyone who went for a ride in that car came back with a huge grin on their faces and all very impressed!

Glad you enjoyed it, hope your Girlfriend didn't get bored or scared by a load of Volvo Maniacs?! At least it's good to know that there are other people my age interested in the 300's! Also it was excellent today to see a spread of age groups in attendance. I must say you have an excellent collection of brochures and information on the 300's! It would be great if we could see them in the brochures section one day! Thanks for sharing those today and making the journey to MK.
