Exclusive Opel Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Finally seen one at last! Just on the way back from the chippy tonight, went round a parked car and there it was parked in front of it, the unmistakable shape of a Manta. So went and turned round to have another look. Two years since I saw my last one. Oh, it was in Torrington. Anybody on here? Even got a photo. 7 Quote
Scribe of Lincoln Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Lovely! Let's hope they put it away soon. They've dumped half a tonne of salt on the roads tonight! Quote
HutchRoslin Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 I'm a salt road warrior, car just doesn't come out in the snow or ice Quote
Sutty2006 Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 I usually tuck mine away once the first lot of salt hits the roads. However, its taxed so im going to use it! Nice Spot by the way! Quote
Clint Kember Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 still using mine salt or not just wash it off lol ,no good hiding them away Quote

Hopefully I'll add to the number when I find a workshop. On 07/03/2016 at 2:32 PM, Julian said: pity it was on the move, no chance then of a photo as it was daylight? Between, it was leaving the car park and me gawping at it too long, there was no time unfortunately! Quote
