Dark grey 480
Flashed by a passing dark grey 480 heading towards Bicester just off Baynards Green in my newly acquired red Celeb.

Re: Dark grey 480
Think you were spotted by one of the Facebook group members. Seem to recall a recent post about a red wedge in your area.
Re: Dark grey 480
Sounds like our Rachel has been spotted!
Re: Dark grey 480
Ha! Yeh that was me!! Didn't think you saw me Was a surprise to see another 480 - first one in a very long time, got to say I was a bit upset you didn't flash back

Add “check headlamps” to the list Monkeysox
Re: Dark grey 480
Haha, I was so surprised to see another 480 on my way home from work I totally forgot about flashing
Re: Dark grey 480
I was popping in to see my Wedge mechanic who is workshop is a few yards off that roundabout
Re: Dark grey 480
I'd be all over the shop if I saw another 480 now. Flash, wobble, pop-up, wobble, frantic wave, eyes on all mirrors as it passes!
Not seen another since the early 2000s.

Re: Dark grey 480
Ha! No worries Monkeysox, I figured you saw me too late, I doubt there are any 480 owners out there left who wouldn't react to seeing another wedge on the road. Funny though because I literally just said this afternoon that I always hoped to be spotted but never do! Today was a lucky day for us both! I mean what are the chances???

Re: Dark grey 480
I really was a bit stunned, I've only had mine a couple of months, don't remember seeing another one since early 90's then I get two on the same piece of road one of which I'm driving, what the macaroni cheese is going on?!
Re: Dark grey 480
reminds me of the time I took out my 480 after it being off the road all winter. I'm waiting to pull out on to the A41 and what comes along??? A red 480 - we drove together waving and passengers taking pics all the way to town. It's bonkers!
