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.

It depends on the number of posts you make. The more you post the higher the rank you get, can't remember how many post to the rank but the ranks are below:
480 Newbie
Started learning about the 480
Knows an airodeck isn't a 480
480 Rookie
480 is my middle name
Other than that we also have special ranks, if you have made a donation to the club or something along those lines you get the rank 'Friend of Club 480 Europe' The people who are incharge of the club have '480 Club CREW' and myself and the other mod have 'Moderator'
Just get posting like mad and you'll soon see a change

I notice that Suddy also has a custom rank now.
You probably had to be there. (Or hear the story enough times to feel like you were there
![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/wink.gif)
)
Tonee: '93 Two Tone. High mileage but nice 'n' tidy.
Sheba: '91 ES Paris Special. Love that leather, baby. Scrapped and used as a spares car.

OK, I've got it now
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
My first question on the forum and I got a lot of feedback and reward: I got the text I asked about above my avatar and also a description of the different ranks from volvo-bigbrother. Still, I'm not really a 480 newbie. I've had two since '98, so I have a lot of material for new posts and in good time, another rank

I still don't know the difference between an Aerodeck and a 480...
But, if I keep posting crap like this, I'll know in a couple of day's

I do know the difference and that's why I'm still wondering why you joined this club with your Honda Aerodeck.
