Volvo 480 Club Europe

Registering new members is now blocked - this should work as a temporal measure to prevent spam.

Then there is the need to install a decent spam fighting mod - I cannot do that since this requires server-access and I don't have that...

I have as a drastic measure disabled the registering of new members and am sipping coffee while fighting the damage already done.

Hope dragon will install a mod I recommended to present more spam fighting tools as this is just insane...

We have just opened the registration for the 2011 meeting!

Also accomodation information has been added to the meeting page.

Looking forward to this one becoming a huge one

And again removed a sh*tload of spam. Shame you can't actually electrocute someone through the keyboard when they're spamming

Really time for some more coutermeasures before we all need to spend 15 mins daily cleaning spam spam spam ham and egg and spam saucages and spam...

Well, actually 1985 is the year the 480 was launched...

MY 1995 = 09-1994 / 08-1995
MY 1994 = 09-1993 / 08-1994
..
MY 1986 = 09-1985 / 08-1985

It did take some time before production was well underway so there are almost no 480 registered in 1985.

I favor the 2-liter engine, nice torque, excellent cruising characteristics, love it.

But then again: the Turbo does have a nice lit up Turbo-pressure-gauge

Excellent

Somewhere within 1-2 weeks more accomodation details will be published so everyone can easily book the accomodation they like!

Then I will also enable the registration page to sign up for the meeting

Couldn't it just be your thermostat being stuck?

And cleaned again

I was shocked to see the devastation on the news this morning, unbelievable, the mere idea to be trapped under a desk with piles of rubble on top of youm terrifying.

Don't worry, I'm sure one is bound to pop up (pun intended) sooner or later

well, I must confess I deleted about 12 spammers and 35 posts yesterday, and 3 spammers and 5 posts today, but that's doable...

was amused by the fact that right after Chris's post above a russian spammer stood up and posted 30 links to russian bride sites

Oh well, it's not all as bad as it sounds, after we moved into this house we were relieved to have nice neighbours and to live in a nice rural village just outside the 'big city' of Groningen. :D The house has underwent most of its major updates so even though a lot of small choirs are still pending...

Well, 2011 should be a good year for my 480, the garage will become available for him again and het will get the TLC he deserves after three years of only basic attention. He did get all the needed service at the dealers, so nothing to complain for him, but this year I want to care a bit more. Last ...

Just added some video footage of the 2010 meeting on the meeting page: here! So be sure to visit the 2011 meeting in Luxembourg! And bring a jerrycan - petrol is cheap there! :lol: Oh and by the way, the damage has been properly restored and all expenses reclaimed on the trucker's company. So kind o...

It's a long story, but since 2006 my GF and I have been terrorized by a friendly neighbour and then fled to a detached house just outside our city which did need a lot of work (everything was standard sixties plumbing/decoration/electra/etc...) - so the last few years there has been little to no tim...
