Two 480s on Dartmoor, five minutes apart - can this be a coincidence?
Spotted on Friday afternoon, 5th September, a dark green metallic closely followed by a White 480 heading south through Dartmoor on the A382.
I was driving a heavily laden Two Tone heading north towards the A30 and flashed both cars wildly but neither responded. Is there a little 480 community down there on the moors?
Also, hello to the guy who came and talked to me in Launceston Tesco car park - hope you got your rear lights sealed before the downpours.

There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal, particularly in women. Chief among these is the Volvo 480 ;)

I'm pretty sure the white one didn't have black bumpers - though I do recall thinking after we'd passed that the was something a bit odd about it: it looked a bit dirty or rusty or something. So, maybe. It was raining.
As for the green one - that's the right colour but I couldn't say whether it was a GT - it had a spoiler tho. I didn't catch the reg. We came pretty much head on, so I couldn't see the alloys and I was just flashing my lights, washing my windscreen (natch) and shouting excitedly at my girlfriend.
Strange that two 480s should be heading in the same direction about 5 mins apart on Dartmoor.
The Volvos of the Baskerville's maybe?
