All we need now is a bit of dry weather - and we're sorted.

I'll be driving across tomorrow morning, Saville Grey XC60 with Volvo OC sticker in rear window.
If anyone sees me on the A11/A14/M6 Give us a wave, and possible a stop for coffee somewhere?

Alec

P. S. All my cleaning appears to be in vain, its forecast to Xiss down tonight, and part of tomorrow!

I've got the engine back in Fake, but something isn't running right. Will grab dinner then back out to the driveway, will hopefully see everyone tomorrow.

Just got back from a very wet BKV - still an excellent event, apparently only down 18 cars on last year.

Quality of cars excellent, well done to all who had put in effort to clean & polish them - the weather made judging much more difficult. And soggy.

Thanks to all the Directors for organising such a good BKV, especially with the last minute change of venue.

Oh, and the bacon in a half baguette was to die for!

Well done to the organisters.
It was good to see so many cars dispite the very wet weather.
Here's to a dry day next time.

A big thank you to all who attended this years National Rally and BKV. The weather was appalling but the spirit of you all was very good. There was a very good turn out considering the weather.
We look forward to seeing you all next year.
Now I have to try and dry all my stuff out

A Big Thank You !!! to the directors and organizers who even braved the elements (in tents) to make a very wet BKV another success !!!!

Next year, hold the thing in April - it can't be any wetter then than it is in June.
Or, if it has to be held in June, move it to the North Africa where you're more or less guaranteed sunshine.
