Macc is alright but abit inbred, outsiders get stared at.
There seems to be a good car element round there, and abit of a hive for the New Focus RS, seen a good dozen round there.
CPP is in Macc, Gaz used to fuck about with old Fords before he went Jap, I think a few Cossies still live down the road in Poynton.

Great stuff guys, just checking out local estate agents today, so between the missus and I we should be able to get a nice place hopefully. But I'm just hoping my care company will be able to sort my transfer, or else I'm stuck looking for a job around Macclesfield.

Had a good look around today and we have signed for a great house in Bollington. Loadsa pubs and places to eat and quite a nice area. Moving in June 12th as all goes to plan

So as per the original question, who lives in Bollington then??? Anyone fancy showing me around the area, show the correct route for a pub crawl and give me numbers of people around the area that can help with broken Cossie bits (touch wood, not yet ) and vice versa if I can help???

To meet the infamous KOSMAN....that would be a treat!

But yeah sure man, meet up for a few jars by all means. You probably know the area better than I do.....but I have noticed there's more pubs than houses there! But at least I'm pretty close to you if you ever need a hand with your car.

But otherwise, I'm just making sure there's people around me that can help when my 2 hands aren't enough in the engine bay or what not.

Noticed there's some nice ladies about, but since I'm with the missus there, I can only look

@ Kosman

Nah mate, I can't lie to save my life, she'd woop my ass Saw you at Pod too, but too many fans stopped me from getting your autograph

But there's a significant difference between Macclesfield and Bollington, its a really nice place and close to similar rapid roads I'm well used to

Yeah, I heard that off the estate agent, apparently more pubs in Bollington than most small towns in the U.K.

cochyn, i'll show you round macc fella, where in bolli you moving to? up or down the fooking big hill?

like draper said, i use(d) my FRST daily, until i bumped it in the snow, your cars will be fine up bolli as the smack head can't make it up the hill!! hahaha

can show you round macc, bolli, take you on a tour of where the other half live, in wilmslow, alderley edge and prestbury, i live right near the hospital and its quiet where i live, but up bolli its even quieter, well, unless me and the lads are up there, we managed to get thrown out of every pub we ventured into a while back!!! hahaha

i also have a pal who is a cossie specialist, though is very busy, but i'll introduce you, and also my missus uncle knows his way around a cossie very well, and has a little garage with my missus dad, so you'll not be in the dark fella...........

look forward to meeting ya fella
