It would appear that this afternoon we had the first VolvoXC.com meetup in Sydney Australia. I know some forums suggest there needs to be a party of three for it to be "official", but we felt two cars was enough and have formalised it with a few photographs.
Myself and sydneyv70xc showed up in Homebush (where the Syd2000 Olympics took place), compared cars for about an hour, then spent another half hour or so taking photos, before we moved on to a coffee place to discuss a future XC drive day and other matters close at heart to a Volvo XC70 driver.
We've scheduled the 7th of June for a drive up into the Blue Mountains and have locked down a route that will see our cars on well maintained unsealed roads through some spectacular scenery. Anyone in the Sydney area with an XC who's interested in coming along, please contact us through this thread or me directly via PM.
Here are today's photos, courtesy of sydneyv70xc's big camera and photographic skills. My Feb 2001 V70XC SE and sydneyv70xc's Dec 2000 V70XC LE.
