Northern BKV

Martin Cox · Jul 31st, 2022, 22:59

I was rather pleased to be runner-up in its class with my turquoise 1998 V70 Tdi at the Northern BKV today. I'm sure you'll understand if I gloss over the fact there was only one other car in that class. I only entered to spare anybody else the embarrassment of coming last!

Joking aside, it was a good afternoon out and it was good to put some faces to names.

I'm pretty confident I had the car with the highest mileage there today, at 232,700 miles.

Unless, of course, you know differently...

Had my V70 been there I'm confident it could have taken the shed of the show award[if there was such an award]

Very enjoyable day out with my step daughter in her Saffron C70 though.

If I'd realised you were there Dippydog, I'd have said hello in person; we've exchanged enough comments via the forum over the years.

I had a very pleasant chat with the owner of the other Ph1 V70 and his partner. It's great to see the affection these cars generate.

I feel inspired to tidy mine up a bit more.

Not a problem.While the idea is nice there isn't enough time in the day [no matter how much we'd like there to be]to stop and talk to everyone. I hope there will be further opportunities for us to have a catch up.
I keep thinking of rattle canning the off side of mine [the front wing has lacquer peel on the top and the two doors look like a previous owner went to the Brillo pad school of car polishing] but then I think the state of it is all part of its story and it'll never be a show car anyway.
