Hi there!

I live in bromsgrove and the only car enthusiasts around here are 17 year olds with neon washers. Any grown up car lovers in the surrounding areas?

Well, i've got my engine out at the moment but it should be back in by the weekend, it would be good to see some interesting cars out and about sometimes as all I ever seem to see are suped up corsa's.

Oh, and I live about 2 miles from that safeway island

Hello,
another Worcester PHer calling....I run a 100" Bowler, would like a Griffith or an Elan Sprint but funds are tight!

For fun I navigate in French Off-road rallies. This year I am taking a bit of an easy year having spent the past five years competing in about ten events per year (three to five in France, rest in UK).
Happy New Year!

Hi there! Just up the road from Worcester in sunny lovely Wolverhampton. I've got a modified white 2004 Cooper S with black viper stripes.
My boyfriend has a silver Civic Type R which is always dirty.

Hello there everyone

I'm from a small village on the A4103 between Worcester and Hereford, I think I must be about one of the most south westerly people in the Midlands!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Chrysler/Jeep garage is down Castle Street, opposite the old hospital. BTW, that is a fantastic collection of cars you've got going there TIME . You don't happen to live at St. Edwards Square do you?

Regards

Time - there is a bar opening in the middle of town, not sure if thats the same one. Well its actually a pub thats being refurbed and aimed at the 30 + market.

Great car you've got there, how about I trade you a ride in my mini for it

(160hp twin cam A series in 600 kilos)

Hi Dan,
I'm in Dodford and I'm afraid I'm all too grown up

May see you around
Nick

I grew up in dodford, lived on Woodcote lane till I was 10. Look out for a red mini, black roof, white front end (not had it sprayed yet) with an air filter hanging out of the front.

Cheers guys, slinky and randtis you are both right, (down from the courts on castle street), but randtis I live just outside Worcester, and danwebster even though I think mini's of all kinds are really very cool, I'm not sure that's such a good deal ! But cheers for the offer
Looking at the figures you quote thats a very quick car you have, I'll keep my eyes open when in Bromsgrove.

Heh heh no probs. Thats what I love about it, everyone underestimates it.

It does have a genuine 160hp btw, not a max power pretend figure. The engine alone has cost in excess of £11'000 to build in parts alone.

It pulls 60 from a standstill in 5.4 seconds on road tyres, on the road, so you might not be that dissapointed.

Not far from you then Magpie - Foggy Wombourne !

I take it we all have suitable PH stickers in the rear screens ?

Simon.
