I've been talking to the Volvo 480 lads n ladettes and they were going to have a meet up here this weekend coming (15th - 16th)

Unfortunately there organising kinda fell apart so most of them have pulled out....

However..... Theres still a few that are talking about meeting up at Strathy Park at lunchtime on Saturday for a wee chat, wee look at cars and maybe a spot of grub.....

Anyone up for meeting the Wedges??

My parents live up there so I visit quite often. Normally take the superfastferry to Rosyth and then drive up or take the plane and land on Inverness (via London).

Well the meet went ace as far as I was concerened....

5 Volvo 480's and a few owners and enthusiasts made us feel very welcome at their meet.... It was originally to be a weekender (and what a day to start it with) but as most big meets there were a lot of drop outs but the few hard core members said f**k it and met up anyhoo....

Myself and Mel met up with Jaseb77, Bubba and the infamous daves60r and gatecrashed the 480 club meet :D

Heres a few pics of the wedges as well as Daves, Bubba's and Jase's cars as a forgot 2 get ant individual shots of my own car :doh:

Looked like a good meet and you certainly had the weather for it ...

Thats a nice looking S60R, kinda got a menacing look about it imo, and ofcourse Jase's "rica'd rocket" that had me grinning for days :)

I had a shot af Jase's car yesterday as I feel mine aint performing very well at the moment and the result is mine pulls VERY hard from around 2500rpm and loses puff when it its the flat spot at 4000rpm where Jase's pulls nicely from around 3000rpm and keeps going untill the red line.....

I feel mines more of an animal but if only it would keep pulling like that all the way.....

I feel Jase's more refined but keeps the power all the way..... Very nice car to drive :D need to fix that sunroof rattle tho lol

Good photo's, damn nice cars. Especially like the slideshow idea.

Having seen pics from a number of meets lately it seems that those of us in the Norf of Englund seem to be dominated by Estates, all the others are mostly saloons.

Is that cos it rains more here and we need the estates to sit and shelter in under the tailgate?

Cheers
