Southern "softies" meet, Sunday 19th, the Vine Inn, Ower.

Hi southerners

I just thought I'd stick a thread up for this. The softies monthly meet, is about to have it's 2nd birthday so I thought I'd let you all know

It's normally populated by members from all the Volvo forums - VPC/VT/T5D5/VOC (most are members of all the forums) and is always a friendly and welcoming atmosphere where anything goes (within reason lol) from photoshoots (it's not a bad location) to carpark repairs, mickey-taking and general tyre kicking. The pub has a very good menu including the awesome 12oz "Square Burger"
It's at the Vine Inn in Ower, just off Junction 2 on the M27.
Kick-off is around 1400hrs and continues until everybody gets bored and goes home

...And this is why I never post about this meet on VOC. Not a single reply as always.

Well, I'm happy to say we had a good turnout and were even honored to have Doorman show up in his stunning V70R. Nice to finally meet Dave after so long trying to lure him to one of these meets

Here's some pics...

Love the red 700 series volvo there

as long as the meet went well then there's no reason to worry about lack of replies.

It went very well

Not a record number of cars (that stands at 19) but a fantastic diversity and a good laugh. That's what counts

Didn't reply because I wasn't sure at the time if I could make it or not - turned out I couldn't. Your post was appreciated though

Nice selection of cars. It's a bit out the way for me though.

Didn't even know there were any other Volvo forums or groups, thought the majority of them were Swedish or American?
