Villa fan, retro gamer, like old and interesting cars. Keeping alive a 93 K Corsa B #WeirdCarTwitter

[Mark Brookes @brookesMark]

Project originality! The Corsa finally has the correct LS wheel trims, these join the boot badge and gear knob. Lots of other work done too since I took it on to keep it alive. 30th anniversary of the Corsa B coming up in April! Ready hopefully to hit the road this year!

@TheMekon_Venus Played a demo on a CU Amiga cover disk IIRC. The graphics were certainly impressive for the time. Must play the full game at some point. Never saw anything other than this section.

@danbardell @The1874Podcast With Sancho out for a little bit, now more game or squad time for Elliott? Around 4 league games left for him to play without purchase obligation… I wonder if he will see him in the Europa as a starter even?

[Mark Brookes @brookesMark]

@danbardell @The1874Podcast Hi Dan, you have some cool shirts and from players too that you wear. Any favourites or stories from getting them. Favourite kit designs? Any you are chasing?

[Mark Brookes @brookesMark]

@AVFCJono I do remember him signing under O’Leary and clearly not working out! It’s a bit of fun; got it from a traditional auction house. Might be actual player issue hence large print can’t prove it. Makes me appreciate watching European nights thinking back.

At VP last night caught by my cousin taking pictures of lawnmowers for some inexplicable reason! All while wearing my new favourite Djemba Djemba shirt. #avfc.

@AVFCJono @FootyScran I’ve only been to that Terrace View once before and it was much more rammed. All the bench seats would be taken and lots standing too. Usually all 3 GA plus areas are pretty full. It was quiet but pleasant too!

[Mark Brookes @brookesMark]

@Evanrelscars Il rend le jeu intéressant.

[Mark Brookes @brookesMark]

@danbardell @The1874Podcast Was the worst selection error not choosing the black kit for this game? 😀

[Mark Brookes @brookesMark]

@Wrighti1 Thanks Adam, would have missed that. Going back to Norfolk that night too. Yup bit messy.

[Mark Brookes @brookesMark]

@danbardell @The1874Podcast Elliott to be back in squad for Lille if these games don’t count towards 10?

[Mark Brookes @brookesMark]

@UridiumAuthor Wow, yes easy to forget how large, heavy and unwieldy cabs were!

[Mark Brookes @brookesMark]

@danbardell It has ruined this belter of a shirt. Who is on your shirt?

[Mark Brookes @brookesMark]

@PaulNic_Journo What did you think of the 90s theme and pre kick off vibe? Having more away fans on Saturday added to the atmosphere.

[Mark Brookes @brookesMark]

@J_Tanswell @TheAthleticFC Is there a permanent Villa delegation in Roma and vice-versa? 😀

[Mark Brookes @brookesMark]

@danbardell We need numbers. So many dealings with Roma. Is there a hotline between clubs? 😀

[Mark Brookes @brookesMark]

@danbardell Good listen as always. Would love to know if you or @J_Tanswell have been (or are) subject to deliberate misdirection in transfer talk. Always interesting that whole world of negotiation and deal making.
