SNAZZY

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

SNAZZY

Post by 100 » Sun Jun 27, 2021 7:15 pm

‘SNAZZY’ and a green GT (which I assume was Al) in convoy just off the A11 on Saturday morning.

Sadly, I wasn’t in the 480 which is bloody typical!

I should mention that I live 2.5 hours away from the spotted location and was only up in Norfolk for the weekend. Good coincidence!

Spotted the same mini-convoy yesterday ...although it was parked outside our house so perhaps that doesn't really count :lol:

Good seeing you yesterday Sylvia & Al - and knowing that for just a few hours, our little corner of the village - indeed, the world - had probably the highest concentration level of 480s anywhere (4 within a few square yards)! :D

And did we think to take any group photos? Bother...I knew there was something...

:lol: actually, yes you're right Sylvia - even with Snazzy & Sven at ours, your home still had 5!

Jeff - not even close my friend - 3 on your driveway is just not enough! And no, the last mortal remains of 312 in your back garden don't count!! :rofl:

I know about that - I was there and contributing, and I totally accept that for much of the time there is nowhere with a higher 480 concentration than chez-Jeff :D

But re-read my first post: I was expressly referring to the few hours between around 4 and 10 on Saturday 26th June 2021 :rofl:
