wow !

When you spot a 480 and wonder if it's someone from the forum: ask it here! One rule: do NOT post registration plates.

It is good to see a positive article about the 480. When was it written? I do love mine and would like another one or two!!

In Turbo trim, the 2.0 inline-four makes 120 horsepower...
