Volvo 480 Club Europe

A guy called Craig - his username on other Volvo forums is 'craig8661'! Bonnie (the proud mother!) had seven or so and these are the only two left, which I think they are going to keep! The black one is called Sophie and the white one is Casper! Very cute and friendly! :) Some more pictures in the t...

Everyone appears to have enjoyed the meet yesterday. :volvo: It was fortunate the weather was good for us going over the mountain pass, minus the shower of light hail which left my arm very numb trying to take pictures!! I'm sorry to hear of those that couldn't make the meet at such short notice; al...

LAST REMINDER for tomorrow guys encase there are any last minute readers!

I really must pull myself away from the computer to wash the cars.

NI_Volvo_Nut has helped out with the route and we've been able to make a few revisions for the better! I did a test run today and we'll be taking a 'Z' shape jaunt over the North Sperrins. The route offers lovely scenery of the Sperrin Mountains, more-so if they are snow-topped like they were today ...

It was an excellent meet on Sunday with some awesome driving roads and scenery! I also said hello to 150k miles on the 855 so once I get home from the US next week I'll be applying for a High Mileage Club badge! :volvo: Clickity click for pictures! Here are a couple of my favourite; http://i41.photo...

That's a shame!

Only a few days to go guys, who else is up for it?

Roll on Sunday!

The next Irish meet will be Sunday 12th October. Meeting Place: Texaco Garage just off Junction 11 on the M50. This will mean you take the exit and just go to the next small roundabout and loop back on yourself. Meeting Time: 11.00am, leaving 11.30am An interesting route has been finalised by Brenda...

Really glad you enjoyed your first meet Carl! It was good to meet you and the missus and I hope that your now well and truly caught up in the Irish Volvo scene! :volvo: Been a while since I've had the arm waving out the window; used to do it all the time when I drove a Mini but as well as upgrading ...

Big thanks to everyone that made it today! :thumbs_up: We had six Volvos and a Suzuki Vitara *hisss* - in total 15 people and loads of new faces; it was great to meet everyone and I hope to see you again on future meets! Total distance for the run today was approximately 150 miles altogether (Carric...

moslo, no worries and thanks for letting me know. I hope you can get everything sorted without to much stress and I look forward to meeting you at the next one; keep an eye on the forum if you can. :) I'm ready to rock and roll for Sunday. Meet stickers are printed, 'the sign' (you'll see!) rocks - ...

It would certainly be a long haul from Cork! That said, I wouldn't mind the drive myself... :rofl: You'd be more than welcome to stay at Craigs place Saturday and Sunday night and make a long weekend of it if you could work around that, but otherwise no worries about not making it! I was talking to ...

Excellent news Carl! :hopping: Been trying to get the numbers up more - it's going to be a pretty sweet run. Look forward to meeting you and getting a nosey around your 480! You may need to modify your list slightly, though; 1. Fill up in Carrickfergus... 2. Plenty of people there to push... 3. Ever...

The state of the Westlink was so shocking it was funny! :lol: The problem is, they're going to spend millions of our money finding out why it flooded... Hello, mother nature; a months rainfall fell in one day. :roll: Anyway, I managed to retrieve the corrupted images from my memory card by extractin...

You guys add some pictures by then ok?! Greetz from a Dutch ES.. :) There will be plenty of photos! :wink: I'll see if i can make it for that.

Glad you'll be there Colm... Your Dad coming along aswell?

If your thinking of practicing your rain dance, you might be better starting with your brakes on these roads!
