Volvo 480 Club Europe

I think thers something to be said bout the styling. Not quite to my taste, but it does have some features i like. Like the rear bumper, not the lights, just the bumper. The front light would take some getting used to, but i kinda dig it.

no worries esta, just fooling around a bit. If nothing else this happening meant i was able to tease you a bit.

Makes it all worth it!

btw is what you say about mechanical devices true, cause it doesnt seem to be working for me.

I think part of the MOT should be general condition of your car...people who drive tatty old bangers with wings falling off and lenses all cracked or missing should be BANNED! If they show no care for their car then its clear they show no care at all about other road users and are therefore DANGERO...

oh yeah,

I remember that thread, I posted a reply on that. Had some guilt feelings on that as i often throw fags out the window.

thnks though.

am missing my old es now with the unpainted bumpers. Nothing ever shows on those

That is correct. There seem to be two ways of solving this though. The easiest is to have a piece of software flip (mirror image) the image. Another way is to have it reflecte via a set of mirrors before it hits the screen. Biggest problem im facing now (remember just theorising at the mo) is gettin...

I believe this has been discussed in another post just recently. Post has explanation with pictures and everything. Its not in this section thought as this is for tuning snd tweaking

liked it, but missed the 480 in this.......or did i miss someting?

Ok, dont get much of this story. I gather u where faster then someone in a 4x4??? Good on ya!

Ive owned "jessy too" for a year now. When i bought her she was undamaged. The only thing i did to her was hook the front bumper behind a guard rail which prevents cars from driving into canals. My previous 480 was somehow a bit higher i guess because with her that rail was never a problem. The bump...

Seems possible in different ways. There are some really small beamers on the market that would do just fine. They are however way too expensive. Another possibility would be to change the backlight of a normal lcd and have that projected on the windshield. Will have to do more research on that. Did ...

Been thinking about the nxt ice project in my car. I've got my sound system setup the way i want it now. two jbl's in front and in the back created a false floor with two ovals and a 8" sub connected to an amp. Love to install a carpc. Been following loads of threads on this and got the basic idea d...

Ok

That makes sense. Wonder just how fast it retracts then. But the again if you do get hit by a rolls i guess thats just about the least of your worries.

Even the very first pop-ups to be used on a car (ferrari) where more like a compromise then a design feature. They where made because u.s. regu;ation required the head light to be at a minimum height. The same goes for our 480's. Nowadays all sharp stuff on the outside of the car is a no no as it wo...

I've done this in two different ways ont both 480 i've owned. In the '88 version i had no airco. I put the wire coming from the battery through one of the plugs that are in the holes through which aircon pipes usually run. It comes out from under the dash ssomewhere and from there i put it under the...

Sorry, guilty as charged.......... I spend most of my day driving a cab. In these cabs there are no ashtrays. I smoke way too much and as there's usually no time to take a small cigarette break most of that is in the car. My fags always end up outside then. I must say though that i do always check m...

By referring to the uk part in developing the car you must refer to lotus designing the suspension wright??????? I mean I don't recall reading anywhere about there being a uk part in the design. If that's the case you might as well include the frenchies for doing the engine/gearbox etc. And the germ...

Gotta say.

Loved the story

You should work for a newsdpaper or something. Bring bad news like that and its still entertaining.

What about a gas conversion then?
