Thought you might be bringing it home Shimon! Well done, look forward to seeing you both at the Xmas meet. Funny the old auto ended back up in Manchester, that's where I went with Ad to pick it up from originally!

hi there!

so its come home!! hee hee!

Im using it as a daily driver now so unless anything crops up Im going to bring it to the NW meet.

I met a friend yesterday who is starting as a mechanic. He is used to and only really sees the big estate volvo so when he saw the 480 yesterday it took a while for him to believe it was a volvo ha ha!! :D

all the best
