Re: International Meet up - 17/18/19 May 2024 - Bruggen
I soooo wish I could attend this. It's exactly why I bought the car, to attend events like this. Bloody kids and bloody exams! 🤬😡 Mine just said he wanted to come with me on Saturday 18th, despite being in the middle of his exams. It's Pentecost weekend, which is in The Netherlands followed by a ba...

Rear boot roller cover

So I sort of calculate you will have 90 Volvo 480 owners signed to attend by May. Lets see over the coming few months if it plateaus off, keeps on its steady climb upwa...
