2corrados 0 Posted December 10, 2006 Well the day has finally come. The weather here is shitte, the government has lost the plot, and the family and I have decided to leg it to Portugal. Today however should be interesting. We leave Liverpool at about midday and head for Portsmouth for the ferry to Spain. Once there we head for Aljezur in Portugal (Atlantic coast Algarve) Interesting Why? Because we are taking 2 corrados. A 1991 1.8 16v which cost me 500 bucks. Pinched the leather interior and gave it to my mum(Ahhhhhhhhhhh)and number 2 is a 1993 2.0l 16v. Cost a bit more, but she looks good. We will be taking pics along the way and will post some up when we get there. More to the point tho, if you see us with a bonnet up (Not unexpected) PLEASE lend us a hand. Enjoy the UK and we'll see you when we come back ................. BYeeeee (For now) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
