Hi all

Sorry to disappoint but I'm going to give this one a miss, I'm not in the bestest moods and I do not want to spoil all your sundays! (work troubles!)

Sorry all, I'm sure I'll be along to the next one.

sorry you can't make it Matt.....I'll have my new front clusters will that tempt you ?;) and just think of all that jazz you're going to miss :shock:

there will be an official 480 quiz as per the recent NW meet...the questions might be all the same but to make it a little harder I'll be getting Milosz to read them out in Polish via phone-cam!!! :lol:

Suddy and JT wow top guys :D

Emailed the old Stu Chacks 480 pub quiz to you Joolz, don't think any of the NW lot will be there to cheat for it (unfortunatley).

Go on Suddy, get the snow chains on and give JT a lift up there on your way-aye-man!

Have fun folks, and you'd better get polishing (or should that be Polish-ing?) up on your 480 general knowledge! :D

What's the address of the meet anyway Joolz? Would be handy on autoroute for any last minute peeps!

Wow...been on this forum for a brief while (and being a total novice idiot as well...um, being just 25,mind! Would I probably be one of the youngest too!!??)Never have met anyone so surely I'm a new face :wink:

Indeed I don't think I ever saw too many 480s round the NE area either so that all sounds a very exciting and novelty idea: fleet of 480s flying down the road and turning people's heads!!

I'd personally be very interested, yet to convince my girlfriend for the sunday though.

Another thing is - which I'm extremely ashamed to tell: my 480 sadly hasn't been in her used-to-be pristine state since last weekend, my side panel was gouged with a massive dent - whilst parking and I'm not telling who did it. :cryhard:

I just haven't managed to bring her for repair as yet so honestly I fear that I would bring the shame when come seen together with all of your mint collections... :cry:

Yeah, but that was over a month ago and got 1 question, doubt he'll even remember the call, never mind the question, eh Groomiester?! ;)

@Bluecruiser, I wouldn't worry about your car, as long as it's a 480 it's good enough for any meet! Head down and meet the guys, they're a good bunch (or so their probation officers tell me).....
