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

Dear Kind Moderator,

Please may you continue updating the thread to save me facing a nice long list of people to add in 6 weeks time

Regards

Ian
It would be much appreciated if you could :)

Unfortunately I can't make the meeting this year as it is one of the only weekends this summer that I'll be working :cryhard:

Put me in - I'm a North Easterner.

480s seem extremely rare in these parts these days. I've not seen one, besides mine of course, for literally years.

just a thought, if anyone has photos of their cars, on a website, or on an online photo album, pm me the web address (or post here) and i will link it to your name

so people know where you are and what beast you are driving :)

You mean just having a link to the pic or having the full pick itself? I think it may be a little to cluttered if we put loads of pics of people cars.

How about something like volvo-bigbrother

just a link to the car or photo album, not the picture itself (in the post).

so if people want they can click on the name to go to see their car...

ian

haha was just gonna say, just like youve done ;) - does that seem like a fair idea?

just had to upload a nice photo of mine as well and link it, tho will resize it in due course - taken on the czech/austrianborder on my travels

Have been a Volvo 480 owner since January this year and have only just gotten around to this. Recently did a trip to the southern tip of Germany in my second hand, 18 year old ES, 1700 miles and not a problem!

Anyway, if anyone spots me, let me know.
