I did Manchester to Aberdeen in the S80 T6, with my dad sat in the passenger seat... Knuckles whiter than a Hollywood A lister's teeth from holding on for his life!...

Picked up Nipper, had a quick chat with Roge (previous owner) then set off back, following my dad, who drives like a bloody nun!!

All in, took 12 hours, 5 there... Nearly a ton most ot the way, 7 back... 60mph ALL the way!!

Oh, that and £150 in unleaded for the T6, and about £40 in Nipper (T6s @ 100mph = THIRSTY!!)

Now that's commitment to the 480 cause!!

I was, and still am glad I did it though, the car was well worth it, even though it is a bit poorly at the moment!


Glad William's gone to a good home, there couldn't be many better!

Has this got the leather seats with random coloured squares on them?

If so i've got a pair of front seats if you or anyone is interested?
