I think we should have our own judging group next, year, "Volvos with attitude" complete with duct tape, bungee elastic etc etc. I refuse to take out my Batley Bulldogs RFL mascots, stickers etc for ANYONE. - now where's the photo of THAT Amazon...brilliant statement. BTW my first BKV although I've been a VOC member since 1999 and enjoyed it very much. JT1 |

Hi, there's a non-standard section in the BKV where your car would have been very welcome! hope that you enter your car next year. By the way it was judged by one of us - me

Yes thank you mate, judging seemed to be much more organised than before (my car however rubish it is, actualy got judged for once!)
I have to say...maybe an award from the people, as to who they thought was best car in show (maybe it wont be a register keeper, or one of the usual lot for once...) is a great idea, though how you would organise said...i dont know! Griz |

I agree with the "If you've got a Volvo, show it" sentiments, I had the very grubby blue 300, shame I didn't remember to print off a crib sheet with mods and what I've done, as I entered that even though it's my second car (which I'm running as a daily whilst sorting out my main 300).
She's recently competed in a few road rallies as well as having a lot of V3M/VOC members helping me in sorting out engine issues. I reckon I owe it to them to show them that I'm proud that my car now runs perfectly, after being neglected for quite a while by both me and it's previous owner, and it's improved a lot since its last non 300 only meet, as anyone who saw it running (or not as the case may be) at the first Volvo United meet will back up! Whilst the judges didn't seem too impressed, a few people I was speaking to were, and thats all I'm worried about, I got to talk to a lot of people, and some were interested in me and my car. Therefore, it was worth entering! |

And Griz, your car would have been judged last year, but it was locked and the guy couldn't get the points form off your dash. I couldn't find you in time and they moved on to my T-5. Anyway, in any club their is the hardcore who is in it to win it, which is great but we don't have to try and beat them! The name of the event might be the Best Kept Volvo, but in my opinion, it doesn't matter, enter the car no matter what condition it is in. The first year I attended the BKV my car sat in the car park with a hundred other great cars. So whatever model and whatever condition, JOIN UP, AND JOIN IN!

I agree that any Volvo should feel comfortable entering the BKV. It isn't just about pristine cars, but the owners and stories about their cars too

right then, my S40 is a working car, if it gets cleaned then someone found a bit of spare time and it wouldn't have been me.
Can we have a working car at the next BKV please? |

Likewise, mine is primarily transport. It gets cleaned occasionally (usually at the hand wash down in the town - while I wander to Waitrose for some shopping) and sometimes waxed. I do not have the inclination to go any further than that nor do I have the time to do so. I live near countryside and drive through it every day, there is a major road being built nearby and the mud is all over the local roads to add to what the local farmers leave there. The idea of spending hours to satisfy a judge at a show doesn't cut any ice. If there was a class for working cars maybe.......................
