Default Virtual Car Show 2020

The Volvo Owners Club Forum Virtual Car Show 2020 is now open for entries.

Due to not being able to hold the National Rally and BKV this year we are delighted to be able to announce the ‘Forum Virtual Car Show 2020’ - The competition will run from 1st June 2020 to 14th June 2020

Please post below the two best photos of your car which must be the model relevant to this section in the forum (a view which includes the front and a view which also includes the side – it is of course also acceptable that a photo is taken in such a way that both side and front are visible in the same picture)

We are planning that there will be an award (similar to the picture attached – size is 60mm – text subject to change) for the ‘Best in Class’ and ‘Runner Up’. As with all competitions the judges’, whom I am sure will do their very best, decision is final and please remember this is a ‘bit of fun’ in very difficult times and gives everyone the chance to showcase their ‘pride and joy’.

Good luck and we look forward to see all those wonderful cars!
We anticipate results will be announced by 31st July 2020. (Although hopefully sooner)

As a Club we are also very proud to support the NHS and we have a new limited edition Volvo Owners Club Pit Lane Shirts available and also the Volvo Owners Club ‘Stay at Home 2020 Rally Plate’ both of which include donations to the NHS Charities. Please support this great cause – details attached.

Both photos from last years Retro Rides Gathering where I took my 940 up Shelsley Walsh at 60mph which was a lot of fun!

If only I could enter mine in the appropriate "workhorse of the year" category!
Got clear rear lights to fit. Used rear bumper trim and need to fill/paint offside rear quarter.

Just my input but not many people look at the sticky threads so I would remove this as a sticky so more people are likely to see it. I'm sure there would be a lot more photos posted by now of people were aware of the threads existence.
