2005 Lincolnshire Meet Photos.

[JohnTurbo]

ANG was nikki's.

From Wayne (Laserowl):-

Es with the EP engine mine was the white 2 litre
Ang got her name from its reg H59 ANG which she got when inported from I.0.M in 2002 we sold the plate and got issued the 52 plate due to registration being in 2002.

Now scrap I am sad to say!

[LASEROWL]

Great Memories JT cheers for pointing us back here.

the follow up meet Lincoln revisited 2006 was a great weekend too, as all 480 meets are.

I unofficially own it again as of yesterday, but some reassembly is required!!! (And it was rusting a bit in 2005...so bodywork likely, though its been dry stored.

There is something decidedly Royston Vasey about the 480 isn't there.......Welcome to Volvo 480...You'll never leave.

Hope all goes well with the 'rebuild'..?

Who had/has that 12k turbo though?!

I saw some of your 2005 photos via the PhotoBucket link you've probably forgotten about on your profile.

That's a shame - I was interested in ANG because the pinstripe on the front bumper looks distinctly green in the photos so I wondered if it was a Paris edition ?

[JohnTurbo]

Wayne and Nikki did have a Paris Edn (see signature above).

Guess thats her!

[JohnTurbo]

Crikey...I have a Photobucket? Haha!

Yep - that or Hotel California.

Will post some photos in a thread when I get a chance.

[LASEROWL]

@Dragonflyjewels Indeed ANG was a Paris Edition we had two Paris editions one went to Bear and ANG eventually got scrapped but the seats and Funky carpet lived on in my white 2.0 Which after the rebuild went to Hungary for a T4 lump to be fitted.

Need to see if i can resurrect my old photobucket.

Good to see the forum active and that these great cars live on and still bring the smiles and heartache that we know so well.

VFC is mine... i've had it for 15 years and put 160K on it, using it for work and going to Europe in it. Some pictures of me there too.

Nice to see that the members from the meet still read the forum...

All the best

LMJ is mine does not get used much, hibernates all winter. It is actually a LHD Turbo Collection i imported from Germany about 16 years ago.. It was down at the volvo 600 earlier this year.

Cheers Rich

[edie_fox]

Oh that's great! Thanks for stopping my internet scouring! Haha. Wondered where it might be now.

Nice to see that they are still both around and part of the forum.

[dcwalker]

Great news to hear these cars are still around - and also great to see a real blast from the past in terms of the names suddenly popping up in this thread

Best wishes to all!!

David

[JohnTurbo]

Nice to see you guys still fighting the good fight!!

[Rachel]

I'm sure I went to a meet at this venue but I think it was slightly later, when my 480 (light met blue turbo) met it's end on top of a wall during the treasure hunt I remember sleeping in your red turbo JohnTurbo??

[dcwalker]

...when my 480 (light met blue turbo) met it's end on top of a wall during the treasure hunt …

Sorry Rachel, I tried to resist it but I just have to ask - how on earth did it meet its end on top of a wall??

David

[JohnTurbo]

06 then Rachel?

At the hands of another owner due to a wee bit of a lack of care while chasing about!
Poor car.

That does ring a bell! - I should point out I wasnt also in it at the time
Haha

[Rachel]

Ha, yeh I was on my own in the 480

Far too much enthusiasm on the treasure hunt (I wasn't driving), lost control round a bend and landed on a wall. Was no fun, trailered home and later stripped her down. I still have spares and parts on my 480 - she donated to many 480's.
