I stayed as long as I possibly could. I even think I may have been one of the last fans left in the ground (certainly on the stands anyway, I appreciate cooperate would have been able to stay a lot longer) because I'm on the 'end of an era' DVD right at the end. Sad, sad day although I wouldn't...

I think most City fans (certainly of a certain age anyway) will always rank the winning of the European Cup Winners Cup in 1970 as possibly (so far) the clubs finest hour although some may beg to differ. The Europa League or UEFA Cup as I still call it was always considered the more prestigious...

Been worse threads on Bluemoon to be fair. And I'm sure this isn't really going to encourage hundreds of Manchester youths to suddenly down their play stations and seek out the nearest dealer so they can experience taking a stroll down the Yellow Brick Road.

Well the Tesco Express on Withington Road (Whalley Range) had a load of lads run in the other night with machetes, whilst the place was still full of people shopping I found out today. A few months back (the night of the abandoned Sunderland game due to the wind) the Co-op on the same road was...

Re: need your support blues, help protect our kids Didn't know anything about this originally but just educated myself and happily signed the petition. Very best of luck with it all mate.

Yep all true. Good old Bob Lord the fecking idiot.

I used to work with a Rag who always claimed her husband (a Blue actually) could see ghosts and that he'd often awake at night and claim he could see somebody in the bedroom, stood by the bed, on the stairs etc etc. Now I'm not really a believer but she was quite convincing until one day she...

Aren't Skoda now owned by VW or did I get that wrong? surely the build quality musn't be all that different.

Pretty sure we were the favourites in most derbies from 1968 onwards and through most of the 1970's.

He's done this before to be fair (remember the FA Cup Semi at Wembley against Chelsea?) and if he's on trial by media with a Rag campaign behind it we might be in trouble. Obviously I hope not as I agree with others that a fully fit Sergio could cause havoc next weekend. We have to cross fingers.

Got to say I watched a program earlier with regard to the down fall of British Leyland and what an absolute shambles from what at the time was the world's 4th biggest car maker. Each part of the company at war with each other.

Not that I doubt it but where are the links for this story coming from?

Great picture that mate and being a D plate must have been one of the very last ones before it was replaced by the 800 series. My Dad's second like this was also Black. He had to wait a while for it as it was quite a custom colour along with the trim he specified. Totally understand why you...

Despite the reputations these cars had I can honestly say I don't recall my old fella ever having any problems with either of his. However a relative had a Moonraker Blue 2600SE that was besieged with problems.

What colours were they both mate?

Got to love the Vitesse mate.

Yes mate and still is. I might mention this to him tomorrow and see if he still remembers it.

I know the series one V8-S models are ultra rare and considered the most desirable for many. Funny story about that actually my Dad took collection of his Maroon 3500 in August 1979. Less than a week or so later a City Blue V8-S turned up in the same show room and he was gutted, absolutely...

Interesting you should comment about the performance figures mate and totally spot on. My Dads was a brand new 3.5 in 1979 but when the time came to replace it in 1984 he eventually decided to go for the 2.6 Vanden Plas due to fuel economy etc at the time and he's told me on many occasions that...

Yeah the V8 was used in TVR's and also many kit cars. Probably the reason not many SD1's remain as they had the engines ripped out of them.
