Hello From Manchester (red S3 Esprit Owner)

[xande007]

Hi all,

I should have introduced myself earlier, but I've never put "pen on paper" until now.

I'm Alexandre. I'm Brazilian / part Italian. I live in Manchester (UK).

I used to have a white S2 Esprit (1979) - my very first car - around 4 to 5 years ago in Manchester (good memories)!

I now own a red S3 Esprit (December 1981) and I am enjoying it every day.

If you wanna chat, drop me a line.

Ciao,

Alexandre!

Hi Alex,

Quite a contingent on here from Manchester/Cheshire/North West.

Check out the NMEG posts in the Events Section and make sure you pop along. This Sunday we're down at Nick Whales in Bromsgrove. Let us know if you're coming.

See you soon,

Graham.

Welcome to the forum, Alex.

Quite something for your first car to be an Esprit! How long did you have it and what happened to it? Any pictures of either car to show us?

Hi Alexandre,

Welcome to the forum.

Did you sell your white S2 on Autotrader? I was looking for an S2 about 5 years ago and remember seeing a white S2 from Manchester. The pic was side on, with red painted bricks behind. Maybe it was yours?

Welcome to the manchester contingent mate..... surely there are enough of us now to organise a meet?

[xande007]

We should organise a meet somewhere in Manchester or around Manchester. I think the city centre would be out of question due to parking spaces being charged on a saturday (they are free on sundays though), but their availabillity would also be a problem anyway.

Maybe somewhere in a pub, with free car parking spaces (and a large one too).

Hi Alexandre Good to hear from you on the forum.

As above - love to see some pictures. You can't just say 'Red S3' and get away with no pics!!

I would be interested in your notes on driving the S3 compared to your S2 - notice much?

Hi Alexandre , welcome to the only exotic car forum in the world that is currently obsessed with the weather in the UK.

Let me tell you for a Brazilian-Italian- Mancunian you have great taste in cars.

Hi Mark,

That's it... spot on. That was my old baby. I wonder what's happened to her.

Thanks for the pic.

Here's a pic of my S3. Same address! In the eyes of a layman, probably same car, but different colour.

By the way, how's the weather, Wayne?
