So, what's that, 12 480's (13 Volvos), and minimum of 15 people, probably 20. Just saying 15 min in case people don't appear etc.

Jeez, this is a blast from the past!

If memory serves me correctly we ended up with a party at VDG's flat and I walked about 8 miles home at 5am from one side of Glasgow to the other 😂
