1350 cars in single file ? Is that doable ?
Free last year, £10 this year ?

In June....better make sure the aircon is working well as we waited for an hour to move off last time....

I think not.

I missed it last year because I didn’t hear about it until late on and we had plans but should be going this year. Hoping it will be a good day, and if the record attempts fails again this year, we’ll just have to try again in 2021 😁

I'm signed up. Dual zone climate in the XC90, so it can get as hot as it likes.

It's just a bit of a laugh, and a tenner to walk round a car park of 1300+ different Volvos is a cheap day out.

Being a tightwad I'd obviously rather it was free like last year,but as DD says above £10 for a [potential family]day out has to be a cheap deal and I'd imagine the charity will gain extra cash which can only be a good thing.Whether 1350 cars will fit single file I can't say but would imagine someone has done some number crunching to work out that it can be done.

Just purchased my event pass, I only live 10 minutes away from Brunny so it'd be silly to miss this.

Going to buy some stickerage this year, my car felt a bit bare last year!

Mentioned this to my Dad this morning and he's signed up for it in his T8.

£10 quid is nothing when you consider the cost of hosting this event they dont give the airstrip for free then there is insurance ect and part of all funds raised go to charity i am by no means a rich man and live day to day but a tenner is nothing today unless your stock pilling toilet rolls i guess lol

I hope the Organisers have taken out Cancellation Insurance. This bloody virus malarkey is likely to put the kybosh on any large scale public event very soon now!
