I'll be trailering up the 142. Hope to see you all there.

Link to SS thread: http://forums.swedespeed.com/showthread.php?196919-MD-Rockville-Volvo-Meet-at-Scandinavian-Import-ServiCenter-Saturday-August-24th

What? – We will be hosting a meet at Scandinavian Import ServiCenter. Bring your Volvos of all flavors and forms. Saabs can come too.

When? – Saturday, August 24th at 10:17am. SHARP.

Where? – 285 Derwood Circle, Rockville MD, 20850

You must be saying:"……But I still don’t know where that is, and I can’t use Google..."
– That’s ok, here is the location: https://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF-8&q=scandinavian+import+servicenter&fb=1&gl=us&hq=scandinavian+import+servicenter&hnear=0x89c841bbf87b42d5:0x44b22a8cb5af98d7,Hampstead,+MD&cid=0,0,6502736225190093919&ei=Ii75UYTmBpOq4AOE74GwCw&sqi=2&ved=0CJIBEPwSMAs[/url]

Who’s invited? – You, yes, you sitting behind that keyboard, smart phone, tablet or crystal ball. Reply to the thread so we know you’re coming.

Why? – You like Volvo’s, we like Volvo’s… everyone is happy. Besides, it’s much nicer than waiting for the Ikea security guard to tell everyone to move it along.

What else is there? – Glad you asked. We are happy to afford you guys some time with VIDA, and maybe even read some crankcase pressures using the Volvo tool. However, please don’t bring your springs, transmissions, turbo kits, and evaporators hoping to install them. The shop will be closed for mechanical work…hey, we need some time off as well. :)

There will be some food served, and we will have a BBQ out there. Please bring food if you want, and we will be happy to grill it for you, no horse meat please.

Finally, there will be a quasi car-show. There will be some silly (Swedish-themed) prizes given in no particular order. Judging and scoring is solely at our discretion and will likely be decided on a whim. Creativity and war stories will absolutely help your chances of winning some highly cheesy prizes. Categories will be:

Best Sedan
Best Wagon
Best Coupe
Best Relic
And of course, the HIGHLY coveted, Best "Probably Shouldn't be Driving this - Work in Progress/Rolling Disaster"

Fine print: This event, though endorsed by my shop, is my responsibility. I would like to be able to do this sort of thing regularly, so I would appreciate it if we could all practice good meet ethics (ie. no speeding through or lot, etc.) I've been to plenty of our meets, and I've never seen anything unruly, but now I can say I mentioned this.

It's looking like I can actually make this one, just not in my 855R.

NEU - I wanted to go to yours, but shit came up. :(

I'm heading up to Fredneck to buy a 2013 CRF450R on Friday night, and then crashing at my parents place in MoCo. Soooo, I'll be in the ambulance. I might show up to the meet in the ambulance; we'll see haha.

Greg, did you want to meet somewhere and roll in together? Maybe in Bethesda @ 495 and 270?

Bobby, don't worry about it, there is always next year... Or something else will come up between now and then...

I figured if you wanted to park the trailer and roll in, I know of a bunch of safe places that we could park it in the Bethesda/Rockville area.

What time is everyone rolling in? 10:17 sharp? :wacko:

I may shoot for 10:13. Don't want to be late. Oh, and looks like I'll be borrowing an S60R for this haha.

Whow! Bobby, you don't want to get there toooooo early! :P

I was just trying to figure out why 10:17? Just seems like an odd start time.. Why can't it be 10:23! :huh::lol:

Lol. Edwin was just being goofy. I laughed when I read that. What time are you getting there?
