Anyone up for a giggle across Europe in a cheap 480 with me ?

Dad and I are up for it and looking for a cheap 480 to do it in, would be good to see other 480's

Don't take this as any expression of genuine commitment to the venture (I'm a bloke, commitment is not part of my genetic inheritance) but... YEAH! That looks fÃ¸Ã¸kin awesome.

OK, I just checked the rules. Love the idea but could be problematic.

Getting a clapped out 480 for under Â£100 shouldn't be too hard (there's one waiting to be dismantled at my folks' place) but getting it roadworthy and MOT'd would certainly cost a few quid and lots of hours.

Good luck.

Think your fella could distract my ladyfriend while we do this?

I doubt much driving would get done....

Finding and doing up sub 100quid 480s seems to be my mainstay. In fact i have two of them already.
