pongo88 Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 What is it with Cortinas as first cars? You haven’t lived. My first car was as an Austin Somerset, with column gear change and metal sunshine roof. This car could move - too speed 74 mph and 0-60 in 29 seconds!

KernowRed Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 My first car was a 1940 MG VA 1.5 litre saloon, black, needing some work for £22.50 from a Filton address.

1960maaan Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 Probably too late now, I guess there will be PotD though. Would be funny if the Women's team managed a higher attendance than one of Mighty gAss's games. I don't think they have dropped below 6k, but only just, women are about to have 5k at the next game, fair play to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 Apparently, they are closing their South "stand" to home supporters next season with ST holders being moved. This poor fella has it sussed; "My mobility is slowly getting worse so I've been keeping an eye out. There is currently an easy access 'bring your own chair' area in the East terrace."
