Post your 480s' pics!

Here you can talk about the joy owning a Volvo 480 brings. Non-technical discussions take place here, like what is the difference between an ES and a S version.

Well, Here's "Nipper" :)

Celebration no. 269, completely standard apart from a cone air filter.

Big thanks go to Roge1, he'd done loads of work on it before I got my grubby hand on it!

On the to-do list are paint the front spoiler I got with the car and fit it, change the grille and sort out a few electrical gremlins!

Image

Image

Image

Image

The inside's pretty clean too :)

Image

Image

And the engine bay :)

Image

So there you go, looking forward to meeting up with some fellow owners soon.

Hopefully I'll be around for some time to come :)

Thanks :D

Erm, as far as I know, you have to have 30 posts or something to post pics directly on these Forums.

But if you use Photobucket or similar hosting sites and paste in the img. Code it works... Did for me anyway!! ;)

Thanks for the kind words,

You know to find your photo shooting locations. Where is this at, an abandoned tunnel, former mine?

The tunnel is still in use, but i´ve only seen 4-5 cars in 45 minutes there. It´s the Matena tunnel in Duisburg/Germany. Street is " Matenastraße ", the TomTom should find it ;)

I´m always searching for nice locations in the web, foto community´s ( where i found this tunnel ) etc.

Thanks. I learned you pictured the 480 on the side walk. I see you have a "Saisonkennzeichen". What do you drive in the winter?
