Volvo 480 Club Europe

I'm thinking of doing another mobile mini meet before our babies go into hibernation - perhaps early October. Anyone interested ? Please pm me available dates and your rough location - as before I'll try to make it a route in the middle.

I am game.

Can do week end of the 7th and 14th

Definitely up for this - thanks Sylvia

The only date in October currently that I definitely cannot do is Sunday 1st.

Excited about this already, after last time!

I am free 5-11th and 19-25th of October. Unfortunately, I am working the other weekends.

Great idea Sylvia!

I'm free.

Full stop.

Is it also worth extending this out to the facebook group? At lot of them don't check in here (shocking I know!)

Facebook group? What Facebook group?
There is a Facebook group?

there are 2 facebook groups haha! a UK one and a wider spread one

i'd be game as long as its not too far away - i live beside aberdeen in north east scotland haha! the 480 would easy make it im sure but depending on location and time it would be a long drive!

Facebook ? What's Facebook ??
I don't use it, so someone else will need to put it out there.
Cranna, I'm thinking of doing one in Scotland next year - I have a son in Glasgow so we could easily combine it with a visit to him. The pinstripes are going on my turbo as we speak, it's looking great after 4 months in the bodyshop so I'll send photos soon and maybe you can see it 'live' next year.
Glasgow Jim, I'd love you to come along even if you are on different wheels these days, or you could join us as a passenger. You've helped so many of us over the years, be great to meet you in person.
Looks like the October one will be either 7th or 8th October and will probably start around Northampton again.

7th/8th good for me

I also vote for flashmob GlasgowJim

You youngsters will have to explain modern speak to ole fogies like me - what's flashmob ? Hundreds of us turn up at his home ? Or pretend to online perhaps ? Or just invite him along as guest of honour ?

Facebook groups:

The UK (ish) one
The "global" one

Route will be Northampton to Lincoln this time. Hope that suits everyone. More details later.

Ok, 7th October is the best day for everyone to be able to come, so the 7th it is.

And noted in the diary!

Wonder if I could the rear bumper painted by then....

Perfect, thanks Sylvia

It's on the calendar!

David

So roughly where will this be?

i enjoy a silly long road trip sometimes... haha

We'll be starting in Northampton, then heading northish for about 100 miles. Route to be decided at the end of the month. If you want to join us from all the way up there, you'll be very welcome !
Start point will be the Travelodge at Wootten, Northampton. We'll be staying there the night before as it's a bit of a trek from Norfolk. If anyone else wants to do the same, rooms are currently £30 per night.

If you come to Lincoln I will not have a long drive. Might as well see if I can join you in Northampton and drive up with you lot

Highly recommended, the drive is a much fun as the chats are interesting, and we will stop for lunch somewhere scenic.
