jbk5x Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Hello all, My name's John and last month I purchased a Monaco Blue Metallic Opel Manta GSi Coupe and this month I re-joined the OMOC after about 12 years being mantaless. I apologise for not introducing myself earlier, but thought I would wait until my membership was processed. The car itself is virtually immaculate thanks to the hard work of its previous owner. This is my 4th manta ever, and my 5th if you include a cavalier sporthatch that started it all off. I live in the very, very far north mainland of Scotland and it has taken around 18 months to find the right car relatively close to home. (5 hour drive home!) I won't make Billing this year, which would be around 9 hours drive, due to work commitments, but I will one of these days. John PS Hope this has attached.

Bogwart Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hi and welcome. Nice looking GSi - always did like that colour. Another to join Rabs Brigade - we'll soon have more Manta's up in the hills than in Ireland. I wonder if I should move to Scotland?? Nah - too cold (Good beer though).

A377 SAS Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 A belated welcome, John. You're not too far away from me ... as the crow flies at least. Good to see another Manta owner at this latitude! Like you, I've just returned to Manta ownership but, for me, its been 17 Mantaless years. Cracking GSi.
