Location of British 480 drivers

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

Location of British 480 drivers

Post by muddyfox470 » Wed Jun 20, 2007 10:08 pm

Is there any chance of having some sort of sticky to show whereabouts people are located, either by region (North East, Midlands etc) or by county, then we can see how the fair breed is distributed :)

Cheers

Ian

This has been suggested before here: http://volvo480.northernscum.org.uk/for ... hp?t=11423

Using this: http://www.frappr.com/?a=constellation_ ... id=2815105
as the guide. It wasn't made a sticky or anything so fell deep into the forum depths.

Good idea though. :D

Although a map would be good I think it best to keep it like Ian has done, can always have their town or what ever next to their ID. So If people what to post on here with their locations Ian can add them to his OP and if it proves popular I will make it a sticky.

I've already made the welsh contribution.

Thumbs up! Great idea, you always get members making topics to find out whom is in their area!

Could we add Northern Ireland in there? :)
