Its goodbye from me too folks!

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.

Its goodbye from me too folks!

Post by catgroom » Sun Sep 16, 2007 8:39 pm

Well,been here a few years and had 4 480s.

I already have moved on to owning an Audi Coupe now which Im dead chuffed with!

Times were mostly good in a 480,just cant be arsed with fettling them all the time.Got fed up with it all in the end.

So,thanks to all that helped over the years and for this forum.

I wont be using this forum or posting here again....

I guess it's difficult, I had every intention of keeping up with Sciroccoworld after I sold my car, but it didn't happen. Hopefully we'll still see you about from time to time, take care mate!

Hi Steve!

Haven't talked much lately, but a shame to see you going. Hope that in time you'll be back.

Trust me: even in a 480 8)

Groom meister, say it ain't so!

Not the uphill chutney shirt lifting bit, we're all totally cool with that... but non 480-ownership, man, that's just seriously twisted. ;)

See ya around, buddy.

Oh wait, I just saw a pink Nissan Micra convertible with leather and rubber seats parked in my road... you down in Londnon, then Steve?

3364 and counting :twisted:
Tonee: '93 Two Tone. High mileage but nice 'n' tidy.
Sheba: '91 ES Paris Special. Love that leather, baby. Scrapped and used as a spares car.
