wow. should check this more often. well i got to milton keynes most sunday afternoons as there's a weekly meet there that's sadly devoid of volvos. it's at the ice hocky stadium. maybe meet in towcester and drive together convoy. either that or there's a lovely pub here in rugby called the merchant that sells real cask ales. any other ideas? maybe a trip to shakespere drag strip?

at a meet you do look under bonnets and talk volvo but it's a chance to socialise and have a laugh. plus means you're able to dive into a car if it rains! and youcan catch up with news and see if anyone's done a mod you like. basically a big socialise session.

right. since i'm lazy i'll say junction 1 shopping centre in rugby. easy to find. just take j1 off the m6 and follow the leicester road until you see the big j1 sign on the left. how about sunday afternoons around 4pm? there's a mcdonalds and kfc so if we meet up opposite mc donalds. can't miss it.

Next Sunday will be the best day for me, although to get to rugby from wolverhampton is nearly 60 miles, if so how about 3pm?
