HAPPY NEW YEAR !

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.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Post by dragonflyjewels » Fri Dec 31, 2021 7:26 pm

Both of my 480s had a major milestone in 2021 - Lily the white turbo is a 1991, so she had her 30th birthday and Snazzy has been with me since 2001 so 20 years of pleasurable and reliable driving. She's had a grand total of 3 breakdowns - twice for the alternator and once a blown cooling hose.

2021 might have left a bit to be desired, but it was a whole lot better than 2020. Fingers crossed 2022 is even better and we get to meet up with a lot more 480 friends old and new.

Happy New Year to all our fellow 480 owners.

And to you too! It was great meeting with you guys earlier in the year and despite having two major failures, the 480 didn't actually let me down, which is more than can be said for my latest addition...

Here is to a prosperous and exciting (in a good way) 2022 :hopping:

Happy New Year all. Hope the hangovers aren't too bad :wink:

Best wishes for 2022 and hopefully some 480 progress from my side. Only been five years, I mean c'mon. :roll:

Wishing everybody a great new year, better than the past two that is.
Here's hoping I can visit the UK in 2022 without quarantining and testing both ways. :)
