MANTAMAN Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Salut Stefi, to have photo's on this forum first they have to be on a hosting sight like photobucket then linked from this forum. sad news your Manta can not go back on the road yet but they are getting old now and will need love to make them good again, but it will worth it, Manta's are great! But first Christmas, what is Christmas like in Romania? in England too much food, far too much alcohol and everyone having a great time !!
