It really is the end of an era for me, and I am rather sad about it.
I will have to leave the world of the 480 for now.

After close to 4 years with 480 Turbos, I have had to change vehicle.
Recently I quit my job of the last 6 years. My musical goals were never going to become reality quickly enough without doing this, so I took the plunge. I fully intend not to get a regular job again till the new year. I will be spending my time making my aims become closer to reality.
The 480 was starting to get a bit, shall we say, cramped. It is a wonderfully versatile car with regards to carrying things, but eventually the laws of physics kick in and you reach a limit. I was starting to reach that limit with the 480. I knew I had to get something else that was big enough to swallow all of my musical equipment with ease. However, after the (modded) 480, it would also have to be quick enough to give me some fun thrashing it about...
At this point in similar discussions, a Volvo estate appears in the picture- usually an 850 T-5.
After consideration, I decided to become a traitor to the marque.
I bought a Saab!

Only once I had got the thing home (450 miles), and had realised that even with an overboost issue clouding its performance, the thing was rather quick, bloody comfy and handled better than I'd been led to believe, could I finally let go of the richmod. And, now, the 480 itself.

Guys, I really don't want to sell my Turbo. I don't. But circumstances dictate that it must be so.
I can't really put my thoughts into words (for once). All the time I have spent with the forum, all the people I have met, friends I have made, all that I have learned about cars where once I knew nothing at all.
It's too much to think about to be honest.

So my Turbo is for sale, you've all seen the pics on the forum, PM me if you like.
I have an interested party who gets first refusal but let me know if you are interested.
Feeling sad now....
