Volvo 480 Club Europe

Got my driver's license in 1999 because I was going to get company car. I did, until 2004 when I moved to the UK. Notice the sharp rise in car age :P 1997 Opel Corsa 2000 Opel Astra 2001 Opel Astra 2003 Opel Astra 1992 Vauxhall Cavalier 1990 480 ES 1997 Honda Accord 1989 Volkswagen Golf 1995 480 Cel...

Nope. Am sad though, cuz it's a mind over matter sort of thing. Can't afford it, have to drive frugally That's how I chose to read "sad" anyways

#25 has moved from Peterborough to Faversham in Kent

Err.... Did you guys read the same article I did? He seemed reasonably positive about the car. Didn't have all his facts straight, but if the worst you can say about a car is that its owners are Aston Martin owner-wannabes and it's not a real posers car, then I think either your heckling skills need...

Crossing the railway just outside Westgate tower. We had a wave
There was a C30 driving behind and an S40 in front. snicker. Anyone here?

Made me think of my @#%@#$#@ Golf and a little bit about problem cars in general. Can't think of any specific ones right now though

Hm. I'm changing my vote to Celeb. But I've never seen GT leather in the flesh (get it, get it? ) and well, as of today, I own a Celeb, so I might be a bit biased

Get Murff's

Dear Ted, I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't gone more than a mile down the road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I cou...

Hrmph. So to the uninitiated (to the apparent hate-or-loveliness of the GT): any pics of the GT interior? I voted whah-evah regardless, but then I have 480-withdrawal.

After I'd changed the oil on my previous 480, for some reason the sump plug didn't thread in correctly. "Luckily" the clutch cable decided to snap so I took it to a garage before it ran dry (I hadn't noticed it was leaking at all until they told me in the garage after they'd had a look at what neede...

AVG free atm. Was going to switch to Nod32, as it is (at the moment) apparently the best overall. AVG I think can't be beat for a free program though. The only times I've seen AVG update slow down a machine, is when program version was one down from latest. Updates start to go up from a few kB to MB...

Older gentleman in what looked like an ES at a quick glance at Sainsbury's roundabout in Canerbury. Woohoo.

Whose yard is that in the "keep some for spares" poster? Geez louise...

Hi, As JohnTurbo says, you could probably get pretty decent money from someone on eBay or some such and I certainly don't want to come off as a leecher, but I am very much looking for a good example of a 480 again. I can only just about stretch my funds to about 700, maybe 750 though. Let me know if...

I went in to a Volvo dealer to ask them about servicing when I got my 480 and they sorta said "yeah, we'll do it, but we do, we'll need to make sure your car is up to our standards and to look will be £750 plus whatever costs for labour on top of that to get it up to scratch. So no, I didn't go f...

I've decided to sell/get rid of the car, so here goes: It's a 1990 G-reg ES in blue. Re-registered though, so chassis/VIN number doesn't match the registration. It's nearing 120k miles and if it hadn't cost me an arm and a leg in the past few weeks I would have had the cam-belt done. Good (well, for...

Happy birthday dude. Celebrate with the new job and all that Any chance of setting me up with a good price on an S40, preferably diesel?

Thinking of packing in too. This morning I woke up to my gf saying I'd left the lights on. Went outside and it was the breaklights :shock: Started the car, no change, drove a metre forward and backward, lights out. Got out, closed the door, lights go back on. Rinse, repeat, lights out. Went back ins...

Not to be a twat, but what can you do with your degree? Do you design graphics for websites, ads, movie sets? Is there such a thing as specialization at all? I just think it makes a huge difference whether you can tell a prospective employer specifically what you can do. Graphics design sounds... va...
