Green 480 York ring-road
Spotted a peacock green 480 this morning around 9.30 on the York ring-road, at the roundabout junction with the A59. Being driven by a bearded gentleman, looked to have Taurus wheels; but couldn't see much else in the traffic.
First 480 I have seen out and about for months (years?) other than when we have had our meets, of course
Was it anyone on here? Too much traffic to wave across and I was going the other way in the V60 anyway, so I wouldn't have stood out...

Definitely one of the best colours, I agree
Must admit, frenchfries, until I saw the driver my first thought was whether it was you!

Re: Green 480 York ring-road
I am also not biased at all and share this opinion
Though I have one in Paris Blue as well, and that one just had a life-extending operation (over 3000 pounds ) so I actually have two favourite colours to choose of...

Update from facebook (beaten Rachel to it!!)
It's a member on here but he can't reset his logon. Once we get some admin onto it, he'll be reporting in I'm sure.

Re: Green 480 York ring-road
And.... I'm back!
Yes that was me you saw. Tuesday and Wednesday I work around York and so make the journey across from Leeds.
For the record I'm not a Geography teacher! I am however a musician and would have been on my way to teach at various schools so you're not a million miles away!

Re: Green 480 York ring-road
Hurrah! Glad you are on here!
I'll keep a look out - during the spring/summer months you might jut spot me in my green GT. From what little I could see, yours looked very nice, BTW...
Good to know of another 480 relatively nearby!
