A little more than an hour south of Fort Worth. Open to all interested parties. No RSVP needed for the Volvo meet. Assembly begins at 10 am at Zur Autobahn German Restaurant 10618 State Highway 22 Meridian, Texas 76665 https://www.zurautobahn.com/ Lunch hours: 11:30am to 2pm. Dinner hours: 5pm to 8:30 pm.

She has reliable help for busy times but needs to plan ahead for larger parties. If you are in the Meridian/Whitney area and find yourself too hungry to wait for the best German food in Texas, you can visit the Texas Great Country Café in Whitney on Hwy 22 at FM 933. This eatery is also our backup assembly location on the slim possibility that Zur Autobahn is closed or has a packed house… http://www.texasgreatcountrycafe.com/indexs.php Looking for some non-Volvo activity? Visit the Meridian State Park on Hwy 22 just up from Zur Autobahn. $5 gets you entry, swimming, hiking, birding and fishing (no license required). https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/meridian To see the latest news from Zur Autobahn visit them on FB… https://www.facebook.com/ZurAutobahn/ To get the latest details on this meeting including maps and updates visit vcoa dot org… https://vcoa.org/index.php/forum/events-meetings/1557-volvo-car-lovers-get-together-meridian-texas-saturday-april-6-2019 …or short link… https://tinyurl.com/yc3v4hyt Turbobricks discussion thread: http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=346754 2018 October 27, 2018 (Sat) - Volvo Car Lovers Get-Together, Zabcikville, Texas (near Temple). 2 hours from Dallas.
