Volvo 480 Club Europe

Hi Steve - we are just dandy - tho surrounded by winter wonderland!!!....... unbelieveable! :shock: quite a few major routes and motorways up here all gridlocked or closed yesterday....... snow seems to have stopped.......... just now! :? na - 'Rachel's' ;) turbo is safe.... you know I'm a 2 ltre ki...

gawd, it's like an old skool reunion! :D Glad to see folks are doin' well!!! In the last few years I've noticed a huge drop in the number of 480s I see on the road... :( We are on the point.... (possibly) of being 480-less......... (Ally's gorgeous Green ES was written off thanks to an oaf of a van ...

Hi there, well after 5 years of the most reliable and fun motoring my Ruby is at a stage where too many things need replaced (gearbox) or mended (various), and a whole body re-spray due to unbelievable accelerating laquer peel horror, and she's needing too much money spent on her to make it worthwhi...

Jeez It's been a while since I last posted on here............ Well the title says it all - luckily not Ruby whew!, :wink: but Fred - Allys' beloved dk Green metallic ES which was in rather loved and fab condition ( new sub frame and mostly new running gear) is now dead. :cryhard: He was rear-ended ...

thanks for that! I have two numbers - one keeps ringing and no-one answers - I presume the defunct one, and the other is ALWAYS engaged, thanks for the hint about best time of day to phone. We've decided to just do it ourselves - I'm running out of free days before I get really busy and I need it do...

It's been a wee while since I was last on the forum.................it used to be all fields round 'ere...... Been having a problem with my clutch - stiff pedal, and it's starting to slip now. Been trying to get in touch with Volvomax in Glasgow for last 2 weeks - no-one answering the phone - does a...

spotted eh?
surprised you could read the numberplate through all the dirt - she's a dirty girl right now! in need of a good shampoo and set!
hope married life is treating you well
sorry I didn't see you.................

passed a white one on Henderson St yesterday- sorry didn't wave, I was distracted by pedestrians!
and passed a flamer today on Lochend Road (he'd just come from Easter Road, I thinks)

didn't get a chance to look for models and years.

Congratulations to both of you - keep safe and well
Possibly twins?.............a wee slip of a thing like Chelle? - crikey,..... nippy sweeties!
keep us posted!

Welcome home MatBat!
there's only so much sunshine, good living, beautiful countryside, great food, and happy folk that a person can take......... before he has to come home...........

Bear with me if anyone has already mentioned this, I've not been on the forum much recently, but..............
has anyone seen the flame red Celebration in the Channel Five ident with the girls riding the bikes? sitting at the rhs of the road - looks very shiny indeed!

@ VBB - not MIA just lost under a pile of work! good luck with the MOT. We're both well, but busy - Ally's in his last stretch of the degree - doing well, but working really hard. In the last year we've had 480s come and go and we're down to 2 now and a parts car (Dave..........yes I know, the belov...

Ruby's just been for her MOT and passed - Yay! only needed two new handbrake cables and that was it. :D Guy at the garage said "it's a sound wee motor" which is always good to hear. Starting to get some slight staining at the bottoms of the doors tho..... :( and didn't realise the rear lights were l...

Was on the train going to Harrogate yesterday and spotted a white one sitting in a lane near the rail line between Cattal and Knaresborough. Train was going too fast to tell year etc.

how much does a fire engine cost?

....and a Merry Chrimbo from us :D ................Ally's been down at his folks' stripping rusty clapped out 480s to get em ready for the 480 "funfair" (to mention the word scr****rd would be to painful for them) and cleaning burst gearbox oil off their drive, to try and make room for the guests' c...

Hi there, not me if you mean Monday or Tuesday this week......I'm on holiday!
I did however pass a red 480 at Barnton about 2 weeks ago - gave him a wave, but got no reply.

I think that may have been me , I do remember seeing another 480 on the other carriageway!

Hi there, I agree with Volver - keep looking - that one is a real project - - I'm sure you can get a better one than that..... ( I know we did........ very recently in fact... ;) ...very nice M reg dark green ES...... that's 5 between us now.... although 2 of them are beyond saving and are being str...

Hi Rohan, sorry to hear that the call of the other side was so strong.................actually, I rather like Saabs myself - always loved the Saab 96! modern Saabs though - darned comfy! :) I know what you mean about space - I often find I'm having to piece all my equipment and materials in the car ...
