Saw my first Monaro [Manchester]

[Volante]

There isn't a spotted thread for Monaros that I can see, so I'm sorry if a new topic isn't necessary.

But anyway, I've loved Monaros for just over a year I think now, and never seen one in real life until today. They're so rare, but waiting was worth it. They look amazing on road without really trying.

Anyway, since they're kinda rare I was wondering if the owner is on here.

Spotted turning right towards Tameside College in Ashton, Manchester. I can't remember the plate, but it was black and pretty shiney. Great cars.

Time you bought one then. You know it makes sense! L.o.l.

[Volante]

Haha I wish. Maybe one day.

[stigmundfreud]

Wasnt me but am up there regularly (in fact went to Tameside Tech many years ago ) I'm usually around Asthon/Vegas/Mossley every few months so keep peeled!

[Volante]

Haha cool, I'll certainly be on the look out.

[Rocket-man]

cough....

That would in all likelyhood have been me.

Next time you see it it'll have a Wortec exhaust fitted.

Hey, good to see the owner's on here. Great car you have although I'm sure you know that already.

Hopefully I'll see (and hear!) you around again soon.

With a name like volante it sounds like you should be an historic Aston man?

I'm just a fan of Astons and Volante sounds good.

Rocket-man, were you by any chance around the Wilmslow area today? Didn't manage to see the plates as you were going in the opposite direction but there isn't many around so I'm guessing it's you again.

[Rocket-man]

The Wilmslow area......

As it happens, yes...ish.

Popped down the A34, off at John Lewis roundabout then to Heald Green around early evening.

Then back around 8:30 / 9pm for a spin back to Tameside...

Was it me?
Or someone else?

[Volante]

Not sure on the exact time but it was during the afternoon, before 4pm if that helps. I can't even remember what road it was on, except it was near a round about I think. I could be wrong, I don't know the area well.

Thinking about it, it must have been you. I'm assuming the roundabout you're talking about is right near the Merlin hotel if you turn left, but right is Wilmslow direction? If so, it was you.

Was it you in Ashton on Sunday evening? I gave a black Monaro VXR driver a quick thumbs up at the lights from my MR2

Nope it must have been someone else.......

I didn't go that far down the A34.

Sounds like it could have been, time and place were right.
