Guest Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I had the same call from the police about the stolen Manta, at the time i had a 16v blue exclusive. CID came into my work to question me, i sh*t myself thinking they were going to set me up or something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutty2006 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Sorry to bring up an old post but a friend of a friend owned this motor back in 2004 for a very short period of time. Still had the bashed in rear quarter. Just a bit of useless info but nice to know its a small world afterall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
