RIP Steve - you'll be greatly missed

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.

Exactly the same here - I occasionally glance back here to see what's going on in the 480 world and was shocked to see this topic. I met Steve a couple of times, one time I remember in particular where I drove over to Swaffham and we parked up my 480 and "the charger" side-by-side and then proceeded to strip the suspension on both cars and swap my PI 40mm lowering springs for his Lesjöfors 30mm lowering springs.

Such a shame, and he will be greatly missed.
