Aye, we're classed as West Midlands or Warwickhire if we're feeling posh laugh

I spot a Porto (that lilacy looking blue) most nights coming round to spon end off the ring road, no idea of the reg but I do think it's 20VT. Looked like an older gentlemen driving it the other day (sorry if you're not). Keep seeinga red 20V (think it's a n/a) that looks pretty mint in the same area andn up in Earlsdon as well. Makes my poor little 20V N/A look a bit worn out frown

Anyone on here?


The Cov always was Warwickshire until the damn government wanted their spreadsheets to add up!!
Will look out for ya Fariniac - I'm a Cov-boy originally and me Mums still there - Earlsdon born!


Ahh, prob have seen you a few times already then, I work in Earlsdon, round the back of the Rugby stadium. Keep seeing a Porto which I think is a 20VT but not sure, a Rosso 20V nana which looks mint and there is a Steel Grey (same colour as mine) which I think is turbo but not sure if 16 or 20V as I have only seen it from a distance but I think it's on an R plate.

Was begining to think I was the only coopster in Cov that actually posted on these forums...lol

I think the Silver one would be me! I study here at coventry and its a R reg 20vt all colour coded? If so that would be me, also Richard Shorney who is the son of the albany motors owner told me they bought that coupe for 2600 its up right away at 3995.

Yeah it is a R reg, not sure of of condition or anything I only ever saw it as I was gently driving slowly towards the builder's merchants *cough*

I'll keep my eyes open for ya again now though..hehe

£3995...they really are ripping people off. Instant £1395 mark up, and I thought my place marked stuff up a lot...lol

PS. Radley, is that the TX Maxx at the galagher retail park? If so, I pass that crappy roundabout entrance a lot....a hell of a lot....I'd be suprised if we haven't passed each other by at some point...lol

Wine red 20vt (P***RM?) in Rowley Ave Stafford this afternoon.
Looked standard and cared for but with a long thin dent across the boot.
I didn't flash as I was in the VW T5 Kombi (again).

Hey Benje, I grew up in Bloxwich and never thought twice how strange a place name that is until my wife asked why it was called that. Any ideas?
