DrEvil270183 Posted June 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 yeah, you get a code from volvo dealer, whack it in the volvo website and start recieving clues etc. bet they will be hard, but winner who figures out where it is gets a volvo. ill like to try it but im too lazy. i bet with 3/4 people each with knowlegde of lots of stuff could do it okay, the split the cash by selling it.

adamtrials Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Im guessing its not actually buried, you just have to work out where the clues say it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 I'd love to know how many old woman this is confusing in the UK. 'They've whattttt? They've buried a car? Why have they done that? How the bloody hell are you supposed to find it?' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaXsteri Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Like the desert, or the arctic, or area 51 They would be better off not burying it though, as even if it was somewhere stupidly remote, at the very least the workmen would be witnesses.

Howard Hughes Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 It would be pretty funny if someone found it, some how got it out, and put the empty container back... or even better... moved it so when the volvo people go to dig it up, they are like, "damn, where did we put it again?"Although it would be pretty much impossible to do. But the thought is funny... (Or is it just me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Im sure everyone will think its a good f**king idea when we get a pile of f**kin terrorists driving in to the centre of a city and blowing themselves up in a new volvo that they f**kin dug up.

that NBR dude Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 To find the car, treasure hunters will have to solve a series of clues and puzzles which will be emailed on a regular basis. Those who solve the puzzles correctly will continue to get clues, which apparently will become progessively harder. Even if participants join late they can catch up with the rest.The final clue will be emailed on July 12 and then Volvo will pick seven finalists from around the world to solve the last puzzle. In early August they will be flown to the car burial location when each finalist will compete to find the car. The first one to unearth the XC90 gets to keep it.

PaRtZ Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 I can see tomorrows headlines now:"Today volvo have denied any provokation of millions of vandals accross the carribean by saying that they have buried a car. An interview with the chief of volvo UK says 'This is stupid, why the hell would we bury a car for a laugh?' It turns out the advert was run by a dummy site uploaded to volvo.com by internet hackers" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I heard a rumour its in the cemetery in Whitby...you know, the one at the top of the deadly stairs.I wonderd why the roads were closed.*Runs to grab metal detector and spade.

Mark W Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Be f**king rad to blow it up or something. Lay a minefield there or just get the instructions for a home-made bomb. Easier than digging, and far funnier when Volvo get pissed that you just blew up their promo car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipkickbs Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Wonder how many younguns are digging up their lawn at this moment? Volvo have got a lot of explaining to do..... Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Quigley Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 (edited) I could swear the XC90 has been around for a while now, unless they've just released an updated one.Plus if you're going to buy a big ass car, make it a VW Tourino or a Range Rover.And the best place to start digging would probably be in or around the Volvo assembly factory. Think about it, they have private land with no witnesses (apart from the workers, which I'm guessing are excluded from the comp).That's my 2 Cents Edited June 26, 2006 by ReverendJQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 (edited) I've joined it, how the hell do I get the next clue?Or even attemot to type in the answer to the riddle? Edited June 26, 2006 by Dan6061 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trials Punk Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 There was an advert on TV for it. they showed them burying the car. Plus I doubt they will actually expect you to go out there yourself and dig up the car. If its run through puzzles where you have to crack codes, first person to crack the last one would be conntacted ect. I think thats how its gonna be done.
