Re: 480 Shirts, mugs etc

It's just a preliminary mock up. All that'll be fixed.
Need to avoid any copyright issues so it was a quick chat gpt "stylise this photo" scenario. Finished item would be 👌

If we can get some volume ordering it would be £10 a T shirt, £5 a mug.

480 Shirts, mugs etc

A friend of mine owns a printing company and has offered to print some T Shirts, mugs etc. He proposed this design but can change it. I can bring to Germany in May, or post beforehand.

Any takers?

Re: VOLVO 802 Stereo, unknown condition

If you still have it Alan, I'd be interested.
I have the same model in my car and would be interested in keeping it as a spare.

Very jealous.

Jeff,
I arrive in Rotterdam at 08:45 on the Friday.

Looking on the map, Ghent looks like a good place to rendezvous.

Re: 40th anniversary of the 480 - planning thread.

Having had a good look into options, I'm gonna travel Hull to Rotterdam and back as it cuts a huge chunk of driving out for me. I'd be very interested in meeting with you all in France or Belgium and joining a convoy to Germany. On previous road trips I have used "Life360" which is a free app to tra...

Re: WANTED: instrument cluster display

Re: 40th anniversary of the 480 - planning thread.

Jay, The RAC will recover your car to the uk regardless of its value. Some recovery companies put a limit on their costs upto tne value of the car, but i beleive RAC do not. A friend of mine fell foul of this on a jaunt in his Hilman Avenger estate to italy in 2018. He had a hell of a job convincing...

Re: 40th anniversary of the 480 - planning thread.

Count me in for this convoy idea.
Was looking into Hull to Rotterdam crossing aswell but i think it'll be cheaper and safer (safety in numbers as you say) for me to drive south, and cross the channel.

Re: Wipers Run when door opened

Hello, there's a chap in Billingham will take a look I think.

I came across him a few years ago but have never used him. I think Jeff may have though.
