Volvo 480 Club Europe

This is just putting the feelers out within our community to see whether anyone in interested in taking on the orginal project car of mine - the lambo 480. For those that don't know, this is my beloved 1995 480 Turbo which was my daily runner until we decided to really mod it up, fit lambo doors, tu...

If you're on facebook, then log n and ths link should work: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=65226&id=735211984 Had great fun in the snow today in the Range Rover - it really can go anywhere in anything I pointed it out, including fields with 4ft drifts in :D Low range gearboxes for the win for...

And how many every day peoples actually have that sorta stuff lying around lol!!

I do

Except mine's clear, not black and I have about 6 rolls of the stuff

As many know, I've had a V1 for at least 7 years now and swear by it. This sort of price is a BARGAIN. This is a very sensitive piece of kit and usually offers huge warning of radar gatsos etc. Also, you should know that V1.8 is the latest model with all the latest features. It's programmable too so...

good luck - I've been on the waiting list here for a turbo loom for 6 months now...

Anyone else finding the prices crazy, or is this the going rate these days? If so, time to start selling the spares and get myself a room free

200 euros??? Thats a mad price IMHO. But if you sell it, let me know as I have one, maybe 2 kicking around somewhere... and 2 bosses.

You let the highways agency tell you what to do?! Those traffic plebs are like PCSOs wear a uniform but can't do anything, they have no powers and can't instruct you to do anything. I would have told them where to go personally. Sorry to be disagreeing, Ad, but I think you'll find you are wrong the...

must be from a car with aircon!!! Dont care what other specs as long as it is from an airconned turbo!!!

does it have aircon?

Spoiler - next to no chance. I even know some people with a virtually complete kit who were gonna repro it for us all, but not enough interest (as usual) SNow caps are easier to come by as people have already repro'd those here - lok around for the posts and ask the right people and they may have on...

He did? When was this (I see he's in Chelmsford)? Or Are you thinking of Chris Grew? (C6rew) in Devizes?

Well I'm 6'6" tall, I have the wheel up, the seat back, at it's lowest and with the back of the seat rolled 50-60% (means no travellers behind me) - it seems wierd first of all, but soon becomes very comfy. Dont recall not being able to see anything in particular...

Or simply "forum spammer" or "old thread dredger"

Anyway, we gave him a new rank only the other week...

For me, Melbourne and surrounding areas every time! I spent 2 months based in Melbourne and travelling around Victoria and the edges of NSW and it's fantastic - you have everything - in Winter, it's quite like spring here, so not too hot, not too cold, green and nice, but then you can travel a few K...

Since June, I've been to germany twice, China twice (in the past 5 weeks!!! And no Olympics seen!) and will be going to germany again at least twice more before Xmas. None of it holiday though. All business demands from the game company I work for.... Still, nice to get about, even though it does f*...

Strange. I just did the same thing (passed bike test to allow cheaper mode of transport with rising fuel costs). Except of course it's my V70 that is likely to be off-roaded or sold, not a 480... So, to throw this immediately off topic. What bike you fancy? I just got a Honda ST1100 and came to work...

no it must be more than that since when I get email about topics watched etc its a different address. someone was changing things over hence the problems logging on. What do you mean it was a different address? No work has been performed on the UK side of things (i.e. my server), so I doubt this ve...

I don't think they do a white one to match my 480, so I'm gonna have to buy a black 480 to match the model :lol: They do. They also do a very rare gold one. Here's some of my collection of both Pilen and various other makes of 480 models (excuse blurryness and carpet fluff all over the place!): htt...
