I'm interested - might find a travelodge this time though. I nearly fell asleep once or twice on the journey back down last time!

Although desirable, a 480 is not essential. It's as much about chatting to other owners as inspecting 480s, so do come along anyway. Be nice to meet you !

Anyone else having last minute panics about getting their car ready? :bla:

Booked my room at the Travelodge in Wootton.

Since I will be heading South from Lincoln on Friday Oct 6th late afternoon, if some of you are in the area we could head down together. Just thinking out loud here :)

Best

Oh my gworsh. I thought I'd pop by and see how things were, see what's for sale and I saw this. I'm on the look-out for my fourth 480.....and I'm Lincoln :hopping:
Maybe I can get myself together in ten days and buy a new beauty for the occasion!

That would be great, but do come along anyway, it's always nice to meet up with other 480 lovers.
