As my 480 passed its MOT today and was also serviced and checked over my good lady wife and intend coming up up to the meet at the Kelpies.
So all things being equal we'll hope to see some you there on Saturday morning

Re: Scotland Mini Meet October 14th 2023
It certainly was quality, we had a wonderful day with interesting enthusiasts to chat to and cold but sunny weather.
When we first arrived at the Kelpies, there weren't any 480s but there were 2 guys waiting for us. JohnO's celebration was off the road but he still came along to meet us. The other chap was a member of the Volvo Owner's Club who knew we would be there and came along to take some photos. We were soon joined by Gapples and Bryan from the facebook group. It was a great selection of models, a Two Tone, a turbo, a Paris Edition, and a Celebration on GT wheels.
Moving on to Knockhill, we said goodby to the Volvo man and found a late 'S' with lots of optional extras waiting for us with Allan, another facebook member. This is a recent aquisition and a work in progress.
Allan stayed with us as far as Peggy Scott's cafe, then we went on to Cove Bay where we met up with our old friend Alan480.
Such a shame that some people couldn't make it. Maybe next time.
