When you spot a 480 and wonder if it's someone from the forum: ask it here! One rule: do NOT post registration plates.

Another darkness fan. I'd call myself a fan-ish, in that I still like their stuff though didn't they split up and re-form?

I went to Lowestoft once, though before I owned a 480...

So is there a list. Could we make one where we can choose whether to add locations. Would be good to know who is close by in case they need support as Rachel did this week with her MOT.
It could just be a list called Locations were we create Counties/Regions and then as folks reply and edit the list. So as the latest each person edits that then becomes the live list. To see the latest list you just look at the latest cntribution.
For example

Oxfordshire
Oxford - Ohdearme
Buckinghamshire
Aylesbury - Rachel

Just an idea!
