i have noticed that forum seems rather silent nowaday with very little going on on the public board.

So whats happened in the 12 months i have been having an affair with T%'s and Landrovers

i mentioned sometime ago how quiet the board was.....think the general reply i got was everyone was buys with work committments, and stuff.
bit sad really that the boards declining as quickly and much as it is.

Probably doesn't help that the 480s really seem to be falling out of the net this year.

Mines not rotten...i keep it that way, but i've started to look for cheap tidy ones purely out of interest, and there are none.

I still look at this forum three times a day plus+

Its all your faults for not writing interesting stuff for me to reply to that i don't write more.

Well, i actually have to enjoy the rare few minutes i get on the internet in the local library as Tesco the stupid wanky incompetant fu*k wits keep screwing my internet connection up. So there.

Plus i'm having 480 withdrawal atm, so i'm trying to stay away...

Isn't it quiet every winter, to revive again during springtime?

Mine's damp, frozen handbrake, ice on inside of windscreen, running a bit rough. Haven't felt like posting much or working on the car. It's the weather's fault.

I've not been around as much as i'd like...

The 480's still sat rotting on the pub car park, it's not worth the amount of work/money it'd need spending but i just haven't got the heart to get rid... sad eh?

Bah.. stuck in the escort still, but i suppose it does have half leather.. hehe

Pug blew up

Lost my job, but hey, who wants to glue paper to the edges of bits of cloth all day anyway??? silly job that was

List goes on...

I visit the forum quite regulary (every day), just don't really post unless I have something to say, to be honest.

I must admit though, since buying my 245 over Summer I've been spending more time on the Volvo Club UK forums.

Anyway, I find most car forums tend to be a little quiet over Winter as the 'scene' is quite too.

I look forward to checking the forum everyday and posting where possible , enjoy this but it seems quiet as we run up to christmas. Have tons of work to do to the 480 's i have in the next 2 weeks.

Staying away at the moment - been signed off work since the 20th November... My 480 still has the problem with high idle & throttle that sticks when you put your foot down.. have got a new throttle position sensor that hopefully might solve it - only wish that I could get out and fix it!!!! Missing driving the 480 - it's the most comfortable car I've got!!!!

I'm still around, and visit the site daily, but being new to 480's I tend to browse the info already on the forum, and not post too much in the way of advise, as there are other members out there with alot more knowledge, than myself.

That said I'm sure it will be busy again once Christmas is over, and the new season starts up again.

Hope you have all bought your 480's a nice prezzie!
