I bet you don't own this...
Work was kind enough to send me abroad to carry out some work. Found myself on Ascension Island, and I was surprised to find this...
Couldn't believe my eyes, on closer inspection the heat and neglect have taken it's toll. But kudos to the local numberplate and getting it there
Still better than either of these any day
PS. My travels and start of a new job has forced me lapse my appearances here, sorry! But on the brighter side, my 480 (not the one pictured) passed the MOT first time, even though it had been sitting around for 3 months and been attacked by mice (long story, but I was again away with work, until I was able to return back to the UK for 10 days :s )

Re: I bet you don't own this...
That's indeed an unlikely place to find one. I bet not much competition for that number plate too.
after over 10 years parted with the 1995 Volvo 480 ES 2.0

Re: I bet you don't own this...
I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw it. Just by chance that I'm on the island doing some work. Was on the american base, so most likely one of their workers.
Definitely looks like it has been left for a very long time, so I doubt it will be claimed any time soon Really made my day when I spotted it though! However the sun doesn't help things... (had a nice weekend)
Surely one of the furthest 480's from the factory?
Just noticed the new forum layout

Believe it or not I'm a civil engineer. Although I have met a few conservationists and surveyors on the island!Raffadakis wrote:What kind of work leads you to such a nice island??? I am jealous somehow
