Wingray

[itdontgo]

Down one end of my road is Wingray Autos in Woolton Liverpool. Is this the infamous Wingrays you DeLorean owners talk of? I've never seen a DeLorean around here though!

[stunned_monkey]

That's a name I haven't heard of for a while! Long since abandoned as an "official" DeLorean service facility or parts supplier.

that is a blast from the past - Martin, didnt they end up being summat to do
with Carcoon?

[stunned_monkey]

They pre-date even Carcoon who took a load of parts after Wingray jacked it in. Ed's now got them.

I used to live down the road from Wingray back in the 1970-1990 era, and I saw a DMC there only once, it was parked up in the entrance-must have been 1987 ish. A friend of mine bought a very dodgy Sierra mk 1 from there, which went back many times to have its front wings repaired then replaced (he was offered a Sierra ex-taxi with a brand new speedo/milometer also-very dodgy). I think sechand car sales are still there but any relation to DMC is long gone. 8)

They do still sell cars and I think they have a good reputation. I'll tell you what though they ain't cheap! I remember he used to have 4/5yo Ford Kas on there for £5000 when you could get a new one on the internet for about that!

I knew it! ...Now we ALL know we were tempted, but we all resisted the urge, but there's ALWAYS one! ....Isn't there!?

Well, since its degraded to that level already....

MMmmmaaaaaaarrinaaaaa (Morris?), Aqua Marina,
What are these strange enchantments that start
whenever you’re near?

(Everybody now!)

MMmmmaaaaaaarrinaaaaa (Morris), Aqua Marina,
Why can’t you whisper the words that my heart
is longing to hear?

You're magic to me,
A beautiful mystery.
I’m certain to fall I know,
Because you enthrall me so.

(One last time!)

MMmmmaaaaaaarrinaaaaa (Morris?), Aqua Marina,
Why don’t you say,
That you’ll always stay,
Close to my heart


Now that we've all got it off our chests.....where were we?...

...Unbelievable. :roll: :wink:
