His and hers GTs

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.

Very nice. I tried to get my other half to have one, but she didn't want to know!

You've got more 480's in your drive than i see in a month :lol: I thought you were selling one anyway? Have either been lowered at all? And are those red side-markers i spy on the Green GT....?

Nice collection you have there anyway :D

I have to admit the green GT is for sale, although I won't cry if it doesn't sell, I'm really enjoying having it as a daily drive at the moment. The green one has been lowered, and yes it does have red side markers. I tried to persuade Jayne to keep the green one and sell the red, but she loves the red one too much to want to swap it.

Well, ever since Jayne got her Flame Red one I've fancied the idea of getting a green one for the set! It's a real pity I can't justify having so many cars, and the GT loses the battle of which stays. If I did less miles then the Xantia would go and the GT would be my daily drive, but I can't afford the fuel.

Not GT's, but a few years ago my wife & I had identical ones; same year, same colour, both Turbo Auto, till my wife hit the throttle instead of the brake in a critical situation!
