Volvo 480 Club Europe

Best economy comes from dumping superfluous weight, accelerating full throttle but up shifting at 2200-2400 rpm, keeping a continuous speed and let the car roll whenever something shows up in front that requires decreasing speed rather than racing towards it and hit the brakes. Are you my 480 symbi...

Ok, here's what I bought: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v667/VanDerGraaf1974/900aero.jpg Saab 9000 Aero: Cargo swallower, rapid long distance traveller, I'm very impressed with it so far.

Yes, it is true :( last week I sold my Richmod to a forum member who will no doubt reveal himself soon extolling its virtues! 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 ...

Yep.


Any pics?

This kind of thing happens on all sorts of older cars. Usually it's to do with a resistor that needs replacing....can't say on the 480 though!

His mates must be pissing themselves!!

Well, that wraps it up, no mystery there. I knew who you were but perhaps you didn't know who I was!

Car is looking good.

Hi Dan, I was really susprised when I read your post on this. Having read your reasons for following the path you have set I can sympathise and I really respect your decision.

Spotted what looked like a dark green late Turbo (looking pretty good) on the 1 o'clock news today in an article about mandatory 20mph limits....

Might be repeated at 6?


Gosh, what a constructive week off work I'm having!

^^^^^^

Gloomy, whiny, overhyped bastards :angry: How about "Talented, gloomy, whiny, overhyped bastards :angry:"? Just to be fair! :lol: Actually I'd like to know what their new stuff is like- I don't listen to them really but like to keep up with what they (and lots of other bands) are doing..... FYI Pau...

Hey Kev, looks fantastic!
Nice one...

I think I should point out for those not in the know, Ross' place is a few (and I mean 5 or less) minutes walk from ...

Great work there!

I thought they were just one part that fits either side?
That's better anyway!

I think with 300ish bhp its going to be pretty bloody fast- probably destroy that C30 T5 off the line!
