As the wife was going to meet up with two friends in Liverpool this afternoon for a meal and a few cocktails and some girly chat, and also with the blues doing an early exit from the FA Cup. After dropping her off at the railway station- I nipped to the AVP at Manchester to get a couple of books I was after, and to have £5 worth of spotting – anyway seen between 12:20 and 14:00 were the following:-

Only made three out of that lot, but got my books so a happy chappie. The Global and the G450 owned by the Washington Redskins are both night stoppers.
Bit of Info:- Lots of works going on Wilmslow road which goes past the AVP. Although it is sign posted, it is a very sharp left hander when travelling from the M56 & Altrincham, watch out for boy racers. There is a new road going past the Romper which is in a letter S. Then as normal after the Romper. Also when coming out of the AVP where you could once turn right to get back to the M56- you now have to turn left and follow the diversion signs back down to the roundabout after the runway flyover. I was fortunate due to a break in traffic to be able to turn around in the mouth of another road just before the runway. Then there is traffic lights and quite a queue of single file traffic leading up to the motorway.
Happy Days
