Nice pics everybody,

Gotta say I had a blast. Thanks to everybody from the organization.

The weather on saturday was kinda crappy, but at least my car held out ok. Only thing that broke was my antenna, and thats pretty good considering the bad luck some other people had. Those volvo's sure werent made for playing in the mud :)

Driving around those mountain roads is great. Still have to develop my pics, but will be sure to post em when there done.

Hi everyone,

we hope you had as great a time as we had :D THe weather was terrible at first, the campingsite turned into a mud-puddle on Saturday, but it all was dry again from Saturday-evening and onwards :D

We'll be making a disc with all the pictures everyone took during the meeting, mail me if you have photos you can send :D

See you all on a next 480 meeting! :cheers:

It was modderfucking good !

nice to see strangers getting "brothers and sisters " overnight, helping with repairs, and pushing cars out of the dirt, and dirt.... dirt all over..

sorry for any inconvenience my little doggish girlfriend has done to anyone ! :-) ( I mean " miss fox" :-) )

had a great time... went to sleep in my own hotel after the luxerious hangover mudbath the day before...
Hope i will get there without any problemas next year !!!

It was nice to see all you friends back...

last but not least : thanks "ronald " for showing how strong a swedish 850 can be ;-)

till next year !!!
luck,
JPF
