Mlocke666 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Im just outside lampeter, near the small village of cribyn (right out in sticks). Was a while back when I last saw the car, never managed to get to speak to the owner. Used to drive the roads going back home from wolverhampton every weekend, through craven arms and newtown etc, really good fun in the manta.

opel2000 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 No no no, I'm sorry but this just isn't right. That car is just too damn straight clean and spot on, this simply isn't fair. I think it is time to save my money and buy a good straight original exclusive, always fancied a red one like Roanoke's, sick to death of reviving old knackers now. Aaagh but I'll have to get shut of one of my Manta's I simply can't have 4 Manta's http://www.customsolutions.me.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
