Guess what?......

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.

Thanks guys.

I have had lots of help from various folk. Obviously Martin, as you all know, who played a huge part....unfortunately though, through situations beyond my control which are unknown to him, I don't think he really cares about the outcome. I thank him all the same.

As for myself, I have been doing as much as I can to get her back on the road. It's been a learning curve which I have enjoyed and I have impressed myself with what I have picked up and done on my own .....it literally has been blood, sweat and tears. Help has come from all over.....neighbours, family and friends...it was just so cool to be driving her again today.

I still have the vic test to get through, but I don't foresee any problems there... she is the car she was....No ringer here!

All I hope for now is more happy 480ing with her, and all the best for everyone else

;)

This is when the PM button comes into its own, in my opinion!

Hopefully for 2009 - 1.7 Turbo.
