Yep....I think the USA World Record Attempt is brilliant, a nice bit of friendly competition. We wish them the best of luck and look forward to seeing what they can achieve. Volvo Love.

But obviously we do things much better lol

Hopefully the fact that volvos in Britain have less distance to travel to the venue is a positive, but the cost of fuel compared to US is a negative. Gonna be interesting to watch.

Me and my youngest will be coming down from Lancaster (that's "Oop north" for all you southerners). Should be interesting getting all the cars into Bruntingthorpe.
Over a thousand cars promised now I hear.

Bruntingthorpe is no more than 15 minutes from me, it'd be rude not to join in.

Do we just turn up on the day or sign up to something? sorry I don't have Facebook.
