Hello - A Past Owner and Meeting Host

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.

Hello - A Past Owner and Meeting Host

Post by C6REW » Thu Jul 13, 2023 2:56 pm

Good afternoon all,

It has been many a year since I owned a 480 or have been on here. My current toy is a classic Mini Convertible that may be up for auction soon.

I have sent a message to Coyote1980 but he may be too busy to reply. So thought I would ask on here.

Are the Moderators happy if I advertise a load of spares we have found in our business premises as we have now moved after 22 years? All previously from a car I scrapped and been in the loft ever since.

I may need help in valuing the bits and pieces, but will put photos up if that is all OK.

Oh and I cannot remember how to post a photo on here, but will look as I am sure you have an explanation.

Many thanks

Chris & Claire Grew, Nr Devizes in Wiltshire

Hi All,

Will get photos up once back in the old office, some time next week.

Regards

It says this, but there is no link?

You have to host the images to a host site first such as imgbb.com, then use bb code to display them on here.

Alternatively it would be easier if you uploaded them to a Google photo album and post the link to it!

Thanks Will, it's all coming back to me now.

I will create a google photo album as it is where I store over 250,000 photos anyway.

Hi Chris.

I remember the meet you hosted. We all had a good time. 2003/2004 maybe? Glad you are OK.

Hi Martin,

Yes it was great fun. Nice to you still here and an owner?

Must get to the office and photograph those bits and pieces. At one time I had a complete car in bits in the loft!

Regards

Chris
