| | | Pirates of the Caribbean Treasure Hunt - Volvo XC90
Volvo has recently started a Pirates of the Caribbean treasure hunt for a Volvo XC90. If anyone finds it, we could really do with a car for Wild About Britain 
Boddie has PM'ed me to say that he's off to get some info from a local dealership, then it's time to get our thinking caps on.
Apparently, there are lots of puzzles to solve along the way - so if anyone fancies helping out, just let us know.

I thought that with so many members on the site having an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of Great Britain, we've got to be in with a better chance than most.
That's assuming that the treasure hunt's 'X' for the hidden car is somewhere in the UK and not the Caribbean  |

Presumably we will have to pm you Stu or everyone reading the thread will get the 'heads-up' on our thinking. Great idea though - fingers crossed. |

Sounds like a great idea to me, I'm happy to help though my knowledge isn't terribly broad as i'm 14, I am like one of the cleverest people in my year though lol. I know quite a lot about geography though.

I could not get a leaflet today but will endeavour to pop into every dealership on my travels over the next week or so for multiple entries.

Count me in Stu - though I agree with WW that we would well to keep our best thinking to pm's or email rather than on the forum to avoid giving a heads up to other competitors.

I don't have very broad knowledge, but I have patches of random subjects that I know about in depth.
Feel free to PM if you want help solving one! |

I've started a closed forum for the members on this thread who want to join in.
If you're one of the posters in this thread then please take a look on the forum mainpage for a link and more info on finding for the treasure.
