People are attending from mainland Europe so what’s your excuse? 🤣
It’s a pretty unique event that doesn’t happen everyday so make the effort and be part of a record!

Cheers

I'd love to have an official A4 paper that marks, that "this car with this reg was on new guinness record attempt" I'd even pay for that... would definitely increase the value of the event and the cars attending as well

How much do you think it might increase the value of my 14yo S60 with 153k miles by?

So is this event definitely happening? Dates on the web page conflict each other. Also, talked the wife into coming along!

I'd agree that some kind of "official" memento of the day would be nice.Would it increase the value of the car? …….er No! Got my forms already sorted and really looking forward to the day,step daughter has agreed to accompany me and will hopefully be carrying at least one of her granddaughters too.

Not in your case, but for example old amazons, 1800s, and collectable volvos which are showing up, probably would worth more with a paper, that proves, that they took part, and noted in the guinness world records...

Says the guy with a c70t5m coupe...

The registration forms that everyone has to complete, hand in and get back on the day will give us all the proof that we were a part of it.

I feel a few haven't got these yet. Please do go to the website, download them, fill them in and take with you on the day.

The events team seem pretty strict in that if you don't have the forms, you'll be turned away.

I don't think you need to 'register' via facebook? I just printed the forms from the Volvo 600 web page and I'll bring them on the day, there's no electronic register unless I've missed something.

Bruntingthorpe is 15 minutes from my front door
