May 23rd Virtual Mini Meet
The big advantage of this one is that anyone can join in, regardless of location, so hopefully we'll have lots of participants. If anyone is unable to post photos just shout for help before the day.
Jobs to do in advance:-
The usual car clean and take your arrival photo ready to post.
Clean and tidy your engine bay and photo that as well.
Here's the schedule:
9 - 10am 'Arrive' by posting a picture on this thread of yourself getting out of your car. Greet others and chat amongst ourselves, post addittional photos if necessary (instead of the usual heads under someone's bonnet).
10 o'clock - details announced on here of morning challenge, go away and work on it, deadline for answers 2pm
12 - 2pm - re-join the forum at a convenient time for you. Post details/pics of a project you would like to do on your 480 we can discuss, also post a pic of you with an interesting drink
2 o'clock - details announced on here of afternoon challenge, go away and think about it, deadline for replies 6pm
5 - 7pm - re-join the forum at a convenient time for you. Post your engine bay photo, who has the cleanest, most original or interesting one ? To be judged by jifflemon, who is giving a prize for this one
7.30 480 quiz - answers by pm to me, scored in the order they arrive and a tight time limit to avoid forum searches or google answers !
8pm quiz answers, scores, challenge results
8.30 Winner of engine bay competition announced
All UK times, so friends on the continent will need to add an hour.

Should be good for a giggle?
I don't think that things like 'zoom' would work with numerous folk trying to point out bits of car >>>>

Re: May 23rd Virtual Mini Meet
I have to admit I had a little panic when I read
thinking it must be May - difficult to keep track in these strange times.

Re: May 23rd Virtual Mini Meet
Just thinking ahead, I have never been able to post pics(age thing) I use an iPhone or iPad any help much appreciated as I am a bit of a techno phobe!
Re: May 23rd Virtual Mini Meet
For Anyone whose struggling, drop me a PM and I'll happily host the post and give you a link that you can post in the thread.
That way you can use whatever picture transfer you're comfortable with (email/Text/whatsapp/messenger/skype).
It'd probably make sense to make contact BEFORE the event rather than bombard me on the day!

Re: May 23rd Virtual Mini Meet
I'm back at work and I'm working this day now.
It wouldn't be pretty with it's dash ripped out anyway! Hopefully we'll manage some form of physical meet later in they year perhaps.
Have fun.

Re: May 23rd Virtual Mini Meet
Just a reminder, get those cars cleaned and photographs taken ready for Saturday. Fingers crossed for a good turnout.
Edie, sorry to see you have to work, perhaps you could join us later in the day ?

Re: May 23rd Virtual Mini Meet
Hope everyone has a good day.
My 480 is still in the garage and hasn't moved for a while, but hopefully she will appear at sometime during the summer.
I've just recovered from coronavirus so not done anything of note for a while.

1994 480GT - arrived!!
XC60 and XC70 for the daily grind.
C70 Coupé Convertible for the sunny days. Should sell it but can't!

Re: May 23rd Virtual Mini Meet
Firstly, congrats on recovering. Scary times indeed.
Being in the garage isn’t going to affect this meet! (Which is good, as I’ve got most of mine in bits at the moment!)

Re: May 23rd Virtual Mini Meet
Hello everyone,
Just for a laugh I thought I’d arrive Ab Fab style, sprawled legless at my chauffeur’s feet:
Al couldn’t decide which 480 to bring so he came on roller skates
No ? Oh, ok here’s the proper one
