Re: Where is everyone from?
yes mate, just stay about 8/10 miles outside city centre, to be honest i hate centre of town, just getting like london.. id rather travel 20/30 mile north or south to work rather than head into town.Capri18 wrote:Welcome to the site mate, the names Grant and i stay in a little place called Gretna (the place everyone runs away to in order to get married.)

That's a dubious point in my house Tom. The Mrs. is adamant that Northampton and above is "up north", but she's from London, so doesn't know any better.Major_Tom wrote:Where's the Midlands? Are you racist?

Re: Where is everyone from?
Hello everyone,
I'm Nic and I come from Henley On Thames. Looking for a 1.6 MK3 at the moment. The Capri is my dream car and will hopefully soon be my very first car.
