Here is a selection of the pictures I took yesterday, if your in them great, but apologise for those not, no disrespect, there were some absolutely superb well turned out cars there. As I have already said, a big big thank you to the VOC organisers, for all there hard work and organisation.

Really glad the weather held up as the rain in previouse years was a real pain.
Fantastic pictures and nice to see such a great turnout.
This is not a moan but a suggestion,could the club not get someone to take hundreds of pictures and archive them somewhere?
I could spend ALL my time looking through them as opposed to lurking about here.
My pictures were always what i thought was interesting therefore not to everyones taste,especially the ones of my foot and my own reflection lol.
Keep up the piccies as i missed out on a big turnout by the looks of things:sad_smile:

To doorman,thats just what i meant but you posted as i was writing.a good selection and not just whole cars,fantastic and thank you i almost feel i was there,even spotted a few familiare faces,,,eek.
Brian.

That's what its all about, getting the whole picture and the atmosphere of the place, perhaps I might apply for the job lol

Thanks for a good day out, really like the 340's! An amazing 340 GL with 165k on the clock and still like new, fabulous!
Cheers, Giles

Also thanks to the chap with the LHD gold 1977 345(?) who chatted knowledgeably with me about the 340's.
One thing I forgot to ask, does the 1.4 engine have a cambelt or cam chain?
Cheers, Giles

It has a cam chain so no worries.

Yes that was me! No problem, I can talk about 340s for a long time! My username 345DL relates to one of my other cars, the gold one you saw was a 343 (as in 3 doors). Volvo dropped this nomenclature from 1983 model year and all 1.4s became badged 340.

But anyway, as wrinkles has already said, it's a chain so much less to go wrong. Anything else you want to know, give me a shout.

Hi everyone, I'm Leo from the Netherlands and was one of the visiters on your meeting together wiht 6 other 480s from oure Volvo 480 Register club.
