If you want the meeting in the meetings-pages then contact me. If you want I can even add online-registering for members for this meeting so you can see exactly who wants to come

Groningen, hmmm, that's a bit of a home-game for me

It was a betifull day with a nice foto shoot in Bourtange. Whe had some comments from 65+ people because whe stood with our car on an historic place where the people wpold like to enjoy the historic buildings and soldiers. They don't no that the volvo 480 is some part off the history in the Netherlands and whe hope they never forget us and our cars.
Gretings to all and may be till next year for the second tour from the north off the Netherlands.

Greeting Rene

It was a wonderful day, Ireen and I really enjoyed ourselves and hey, I even learned a trick:

I had to replace a daylight bulb and had to get the direction indicator unit out. On both my previous 480 it was simply a matter of pushing the side inwards and then pushing the unit forwards, but on my new 480 this doesn't work. I was so frustrated I almost broke the unit

... Marcel told me that I had to push a small spring inwards with a screwdriver between bumper and unit at the side... What a priceless tip

Well, that only proves there will always be little things you can learn

Back to the photos: I will also upload mine, will just take a few days since I am away from home these weeks. Maybe I manage to pop by tomorrow.
