Spent 15 years living in Cirencester with Mitsubishi's UK headquarters at the end of our road.
Highlights were seeing various works rally cars arriving and departing. Low lights were regular HGV deliveries of parts rolling up our quite narrow road at 3 in the morning. Plus being given a Mk2 Shogun to have a go in when they asked local residents to test drive them as a sort of sorry for all the noise after some warehouse refurbishment.
A reasonable sized part of the Cirencester economy so their absence will certainly be felt.
When I was 18 a boy from a few doors down had a Celeste coupe. SO much cooler than anyone else car. Later on I rocked a poo brown Galant for a year in Cape Town. Such a horrid car but entirely reliable.
End of my Mitsubishi memories.

I’ve probably walked past you/your house then , done many training courses there ! Few beers in the pub just along the road then either a Chinese for the room ( better than the food they served in the hotel) or a walk in to town for some more beers! Remember one very drunk finding some club or other that was accessed down an alley way then up some stairs ! We missed the curfew for the gates at the hotel so ended up climbing over them! I miss those days

I miss those days Hahah Oh THAT place. er... lovely! you are still alive so it mustn't have gone too badly for you. The pub (The Bees Knees) was quite good I remember. Nice and local, ie twenty yards from my front door. Retro content, my old car outside the pub in question

A bit left-field but the RVR Sports Gear Aero made for a funky wagon....straight outta Gran Turismo (almost) EVO engine and running gear. AWD, turbo, win

I still miss my old Legnum VR4, proper weapon it was! They started the ballistic estate market in my opinion.

Was always the starting point for what should always of been a quiet night!
