No, just a standard estate. I live by the Henwick sports field and get my kicks riding my Ninja, in green of course

No mate, I've only lived here for 8 years. Seems like I don't know anybody Although saying that there are a couple of people round the corner from me who have had a few MK1's ecsorts and the odd early cortina thrown in for good measure. One of them is well into his 50's american cars as well. Don't actually 'know' them though.

I am sure I'd remember a V8 Sierra if I saw / heard it.

Maybe we can get a Thatcham group together for the next PF meet in Arborfield ???

Yeah I am normally cruising about in my fiesta runabout, I'll keep an eye out for the gulf tranny!

I'm actually in hermitage so thatcham is probably actually closer to me than Newbury...
We'll have to have a convoy to the next Reading meet or something.

Also have a mate, Allan with a black saff..he's had his a lot longer so you've probably seen him about a bit.

Cheers,
Luke.

My first House after I married in Redfield Court , just off the A4, opposite Hambridge Lane. Almost new when I moved in probably would not recognise the area now.
