Volvo world record
« on: 20 May 2019, 20:16:29 »

I attended the attempt to break the current world record for the greatest number of parading Volvos back at the end of March.Unfortunately the word has come through that Guinness World Records have denied the claim due to some of the cars having too great a gap to the next car ahead/behind  and therefore not classed as a continuous parade :'( The organisers of the attempt have opened a poll on facebook to gauge interest/intent of owners with regard to re-staging the attempt next year.So hopefully this will go ahead and be more successful this time around.Many thousands of pounds were raised by the first attempt for the breast cancer charity so the first try was not entirely in vain and a second attempt such raise even more funds for a worthwhile cause :y
