480 Club Europe 2010 - Junemeeting (June 25-27)

Post by Bastiaan » Tue Mar 16, 2010 8:54 pm

The Volvo 480 Club Europe also organises its traditional weekendmeeting in 2010! This year we meet in France; the French Vosgues region to be precise. We have selected the weekend of June 25 to 27 for this meeting, so we will have even more chance of good sunny warm weather.


Strangely this meeting wasn't mentioned at our forum yet. :shock:

The list of attendees is visible here http://volvo-480-europe.org/clubdata/me ... 0625-F.php :D

Seems like we're in for great weather in the French Vosges, will be heading there tomorrow morning, so should arrive there in the end of the afternoon / early evening.

Still need to vacuum my car and wash and wax her, will do so tonight :)

If you haven't signed up yet and think you actually want to come: simply come on over, the more 480's the merrier :hopping:

The GPS coordinates for the start at Landersen are:

Hi Jonathan,

Sorry to hear you couldn't be there, we had a great time. Unfortunately none of the French members showed up...maybe still to short following the big Paris meeting 2 weeks ago?
The reason we tried to contact you was a problem with one of the 480's...broken voltage regulator... :( And ofcourse, no shops/dealerships were open on Sunday.
We managed to get the car back to Holland...we drove with 4 of us, and swapped batteries every 2 hrs. The trip was somewhat longer...but we managed.

But thanks for replying anyway :D

For the rest of the meeting:
The weather was great this year...so it payed out to meet in june is stead of may ;) (actually, it was bl***y hot :roll: :lol: )
Even though there were just 14 cars, we had a very nice time together.

I would like to thank everybody who showed up for making this a meeting to remember again :hopping:
(pictures will be available shortly...after retouching them ;) )

For those who are interested, I whiped some dead flies of the licenceplates and did some "work" on the pics:

Indeed it was an excellent meeting in sunny & warm France! The first time in years that we had this much sunshine, I could get used to that (since I have A/C :lol: )

Shame that none of the French members showed up even though it was a meeting in their backyard...

And something on the way home ruined my mood:

Was on the way home in Luxembourg, roadworks on the motorway, 2 lanes combining to 1 lane, and a lorry driver missing (and also NOT missing) me when changing lanes... Luckily teh damage report forms were filled out without a fuzz and I managed to get the personal details of a witness for the insurance. Should all be restored and paid for, but I kinda liked the factory-coating there... Will make sure it will be restored perfectly and durably...




And for the rest: thanks to everyone attending the meeting, we had a wonderful time and we hope you too! See you all in 2011 ;)

My 480 doesn't break... it just rests

Just added some video footage of the 2010 meeting on the meeting page: here!

So be sure to visit the 2011 meeting in Luxembourg!

And bring a jerrycan - petrol is cheap there! :lol:


Oh and by the way, the damage has been properly restored and all expenses reclaimed on the trucker's company. So kind of a happy end. Repairmen did a good job :)
