Yes was a good day out even if it did want to rain on our parade most of the day. Some nice 100 series but yes as antz said i was quite upset by the burgandy/bronze colour 480 celebration driver, how rude he was to me. Having had no official direction i parked next to the 7/9 series sign assuming that i would either get told later the proper orientation as we were early, or i was right already.

So on the return trip from my car showing 2 freinds my latest addition a person in a blue volvo jacket approached me asking if it was my car. Answered yes not being rude then got a blunt "move it your in the wrong section" i explained i hadnt had any official instructions on where i was actually supposed to be so what do you want me to do. Was once again met with "i dont care move it" and all this was so he could move his car to the end closer to me. He had to be that rude to move 12ft.

And sadly its people like this that put me off joining or comming back. So thats my rant over. Good day ruined by a selfish person.

Had wanted to come to the meet myself but was stopped by work commitments.

Apologies to those who were met by the rude person. I shall make sure that your feelings are conveyed to the BoD. This is certainly not what the club are about and everybody should be made to feel welcome, member or otherwise.

Sorry not to have made it due to being poorly...glad everyone (almost!) had a good time. Echo the sentiments about the 480 owner; absolutely no need to be rude.

Hope it doesn't completely put you off, HemiHusky, and please rest assured that not all of us 480 owners are like that!

All the best

David

Sorry to hear you had a rough time at the northern meet. I can only say it is not the norm. Can I suggest you get in touch with the newly formed Yorkshire section. easy to find on the forum. Easy going bunch of Volvo owners, have an up coming get together in September, be worth popping along to meet us. They even let me tag along and I'm a Lancastrian..... Again sorry you had a bad experience at a Volvo meet. Hope to meet soon

I'd echo the above - I'd even let you park next to my 480 without complaint...
