hey again

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

Post by robkendall » Sun May 18, 2008 12:27 am

hi all.

after a break from forums, cars and life in general, im back.

so im back home and on the look out for a nice shiny 480 again.
after spending god knows how many hours trawling the forums, its nice to see all the old school still around, and even some of the older school back (hiya batty)

Welcome back Rob...

I had wondered what had happened-i knew you were contemplating moving away, but figured as you'd gone quiet that you probably had, but didn't have any internet connection!

I guess you've prob. seen the latest? Chris is breaking his 480, Edd sold his, RichP wrote his off and may never make it back into a 480, and said good chance there'll be no more Rich Mod's... :( MHUK was talking of breaking his 480, but has disappeared...

Think VBB is a Dad now, hardly see him here... Murf is 480-less now, as is Owen080808 & Piper1st, but we have had a few new enthusiastic members which is good.

Other than that, it's same old same old! Nice to see you back though :D

Welcome back Rob, looks like while some people are leaving the 480 world other old fans are returning.

Thats right, have been for a whole 4 months. I may not post as much as I used to but I am on here several times a day now, being an IT engineer I am more or less permanently connected to the internet so still quite regular.

Its breaking because unbeknown to us all, under the windscreen surround the rust was slowly eating it away, only becoming apparent when the windscreen cracked from top to bottom! Looks like a spiders web now.

Oh well.

Hi there,

Bad it didn't work out, If you think of moving to France, I've got a few 480's for sale, up to 4 of the bloody things now, my O/H now has 2 480's + BMW + the bikes in the garage/yard and is suggesting setting fire to the 480's...so same as Murf, if you need parts or anythng, giz a shout !

Apart from that, I think everyone has resumed the past year pretty well...oh, yeah, JT has gone mad and bought a Jap...think that's all the recent excitement really :lol:

Good luck finding a new 480 :wink:
