But got really excited cause thats the first VR4 I've spotted as far as my memory goes lol.. and I had a gut feeling it was a VR4 forum person too lol..

    Most noticeable was when there was a blue little Pug 106 I think stuck in front of you at the MacDonald's junction lol.. was thinking of trying to catch you up but good old white van man wasn't thinking of budging out of my way even though the slow lane was completerly empty

    Haha yeah I was like "do I shine the pug on".. kept giving him a few BOV tshh's to remind him how crap his car was, his girlfriend was none too impressed

    Was expecting him to stay up my arse down bristol road when the traffic got bad but guessing he was under the thumb

    When are you looking at getting a VR4 mate?

    Hee hee defo you then

    Was trying to catch up to have closer look but then saw you turn off towards Pershore Road so looked over

    Need to first get rid of the Starlet and then get a YRV, cause the GF prefers the look of that to the Space Star.. and its abit more economical and probably easier for her to learn how to drive in it.. then once thats done put the Mazda up for sale to get funds and it will be to hunt down a face list manual Legnum.. want estate cause I love the space I will get lol.. but I know it will take me ages to find one so I'm in no rush.. just want an example I can keep for years and years ^_^

    I tend to cut through selly park and then come back onto bristol road after going through bourneville, it gets past all the congestion up by the selly oak junction (the sainsburies / halfords / pcworld one).

    Leggy will certainly give you space and speed wish you luck selling the star, trying to sell my toledo at the moment as its no longer needed, maybe list the star on an owners club?

    lol.. so you live round that way?! I'm Harborne way so have to cut through Selly.. but I work out in Solihull lol.. its a mission every day this week.. wasn't so bad at my last place cause it was about 25mins to get to work.. but now its just stuck in traffic.. and I only started this part time job on Monday after being redundant since beginning of Dec

    I'm full paid up member on both the Starlet clubs lol.. I'm always like that.. when I had Honda's I was full paid up on any of the pay ones.. even my first car a smelly diesel Primera I was paid up member on there.. as soon as I get the funds and can actively look for a Leggy I'm becoming a full paid up member here too

    Sorry to jump in here, but I feel left out now

    Been a Leggy owner for 8 months and never been spotted. Foxdie has had one for a few weeks and gets spotted... lol... not that I'm being bitter or anything
    Well, to be honest, I live in Brum but I'm not around Bristol Rd way that often. I live and work the other side of the Queensway underpass.

    PS - was it a black or trigger mauve VR4? A2K's title says black, but Fox's user profile lists trigger mauve.
    1997 Mitsubishi RVR HSGR : 2.0 4G63T, 4 seats and the seating position from a truck
    2009 Ford Mondeo : 2.2TDCi, 4 wheels, some plastics, some metal and some seats

    Well it was dark coloured =P I was too excited to really notice what shade of dark lol.. so I assumed black?! I defo need to get to grips with the diff colour names and how to spot..

    I do go past the tunnels and along the Aston Expressway onto the M6 towards the airport for work so might catch you on my travels Atikali

    I've probably spotted Galants/Leggies in the past but never computer in my brain lol.. now I'm actively on the lookout!! They are rarer than my yellow Mazda 6!! Only ever spotted another yellow one when on travels down to stone henge for a weekend get away with the little Miss lol.. Must meet up with you guys properly and chat VR4 ^_^

    Still need to meet Mr Nick Mann too and gain some extra knowledge!! No doubt once I get a Leggie I'll be showing up to loads of meets and events..

    I live at the top of Northfield (just over the hill from Frankley Services on the M5). Sorry to hear about the redundancy, hope you can bounce back on that one.

    Atikali, sorry I haven't spotted you yet, hopefully one day

    A2klau, I'll be at Nicks in the next week or so for a full amsoil treatment, with his permission (as its his house naturally) I don't see it being a problem you coming to chat

    Actually, let me know when you are meeting at Nick's cos I might pop down, as I need to bleed my clutch. Could do a convoy down the M5 too!

    Yay!! I get my first close up view of a Legnum ^_^ But from what I've watched on youtube and read it should be exactly my cup of tea and I'll be a long member for sure
