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

Saw one of those sidecar things (CSC FSIII, or California Sidecar Friendship III) with a 480 front indicator, on the M6 coming down from the Lake District‎!

that really is pushing the 'spotted' link :-) but ten out ten for noticing it?

I wonder if they bought a BIG batch of LH indicators :D (or was that previously discussed)

kind of like the SS1 uses the same indicators as an 'upmarket' vehicle, but also fitted to Fiat 128/ Yugo etc, guess which dealer you buy them from? :wink:

You're right, the whole front-end of the side-car looks decidedly familiar...pity it doesn't have a pop-up headlight fitted in it as well! :D
