    Re: Any Coventry Lads?

    Used to be a great scene in coverntry when I lived there about 15 years ago, holyhead road retail park mainly, although the nasty council ruined it with gates and speedbumps.

    I bought some stuff off Rich the other week! He's only round the corner from me (well his dad is).

    Has your corsa got a HUGE intercooler mounted in the bumper? Im sure ive seen it round tile hill/eastern green! There are a few LET corsa's in Cov. There used to be a green one in Canley and i've seen another floating round recently too.

    You might have seen/heard me in a white mk3 redtop on webers...? Its got a black bonnet, looks like a wreck and is LOUD! Lol

    If you're into hams you probably know Dave Russel from Meriden? He's had loads of astra GSI's/redtops.

    Also, you might know Smit, the one with the Blue 205 dimma and the pink Fiesta??

    We'll have to meet up mate! There arent many Vauxhall enthusiasts round here anymore by the sound of it!

    I work just round the corner from you, on westwood business park.

    Wouldnt mind a spin in the Let to be fair!
