Seattle Area Volvo Meet: just got back

[matthew1]

I had a really fun couple hours meeting and talking to a great bunch of guys. Thanks to Kevin from Volvospeed for the invite/heads up on that event.

Here's some (bad) pictures I took with my phone's camera of the group of cars at Magnusson park in Sand Point:







To the 740 owner: nice smoke show .

Hello and thanks for a good time to everyone I met!

Here's some good photos. Many thanks to Zappo at Volvospeed forums!

Yikes! Do you people actually turn those engines on? ; )

Well yes. I guess you do unless you take the auto train to all these get togethers...

/Embarassed to show the oil and grime underneath my hood/

How often do you clean under the hood and how?

[matthew1]

I cleaned my 850 like mad starting about 2 hrs before the event. I was embarassed even with the result. Some of the guys there, they have 850s and 70s you wouldn't believe.

I used to spend more time on her. Hell, I used to spend way more time driving than I have in the last 3 years since I took a job in the city.

It costs about $10/day to park on weekdays near Seattle's Pioneer Square, so I take the bus. That leaves very little driving for the rest of the week. And you know what they say... out of sight/out of mind.

Meets are always lots of fun. We are having a national meet in St. Louis this summer. Tons of people from Volvospeed are going to be there from all over the country. It will also be the same weekend that the VCOA will be in town there. There will be an absurd number of Volvo's

[jaljamma]

That looks sweet, any 850 guys/girls out there in the Detroit metro area that would like to have a gathering this summer..............I'm willing to set up if I hear back from you.

[h2oiamwater]

i live about 30 min from seattle and i would like to know if it is it like a swap meet to get parts for volvo's or where volvo people just meet up
