I think someone needs to check the reg on that one to find out what engine it has

This "beast" is parked where I park most mornings....
*snip*
True to form, despite the "slicks", he tends to drive it like its stolen.
Yeah I know him, he's seeing a girl in my form at sixth form, works in the Co-op in Alsager
He seems like a alright guy, shame about his car though, it's better than his old corsa (if you remember it, he got his current car about 6 months ago?). Now that was even worse and was only a 1.2.

Yeah I had two in a row drive past me on the way back from work last week, must have been on their way to a dealership or garage or something. They didn't look as bad as the critics say but you are right they are a bit dull, they are not anywhere near as visually appealing as some of the other grand tourers as they seem to blend in with the crowd a bit more.

Saw a lovely Audi R8 right near my house but I was just driving round the corner but it looked great.
Also saw the other day something a bit different. I don't know what it was but it was in bright green and had on the back MGT or something. Was about the size of a lotus exige which is what I thought it was but the rear looks totally different. Anyone know what it could be?
No pics though.

There's the MG TF, but they're common so I'd guess you'd recongnize one? Could have been a MG XPower SV, they're pretty rare!

Small world!
I know he previously had a Corsa, which he pranged, I was under the assumption he'd repaired & chavved up the same car?
Don't get me wrong, I have no issue with the guy and have said hello a few times to him, but was not too impressed when I saw his tyres earlier and will point it out to him if / when I see him next (a bit difficult as I work weird hours so our paths rarely cross)

Still not convinced, although I do believe it could be one of those cars that looks much better in the flesh than in photos!
I particularly don't like the rear door shut line though

Haa, well considering we only live 1 or 2 miles away, it is a small world
He had a older red corsa (N65 GVT?) which wasnt pranged as far as i know, someone in Alsager now owns it and he brought that older (although bigger engined) corsa.
Yeah Ad is alright, only spoke to him a few times myself but see him around almost daily.

Iirc, the old one was blue, tbh, it may not even have been his, it was parked in the same spot as the red one these days, the damaged one got fixed and seems to have morphed into the red one.....
You'll have to call round for a brew some time mate.
