Hi Folks,
I should be vaugly remembered by a few of the names here, used to be pretty active on Bill's "old" board in the US, member of Mk1 club, drivers club, IMOC and have used various boards over the years. Have enjoyed MK1s since 1989, with passing flirtations with alfas, a Gen2 celcia, and a Maserati (Bi-turbo- ?1300 for a pair of shocks, 12 mpg nad no handling ability anyone?).
Have been pretty inactive on the "scene" for a year or so due to work; this year is tougher still but for other reasons.
I work weekends to meets tend not to happen for me - once made it to castle coombe, and once to a MK1 club meet (over 4 years as a member!). Other than that its emails.
I own an SC that was pretty heavily modified, and has been parked up for a year or so, and picked up "the yellow peril" an ex-show car known to the MR clubs in the 90's that had passed through several "can't insure it boyracer hands" and aquired several holes in its floor. (Richard Macer engine, willwood brakes etc etc) The yellow car is planned to mate with a complete turbo set up I purchased 18 months ago and have benched since.
"That woman!" out bid me in the twin-charger stakes after I persuaded the owner to sell (Toni if your reading you know I love you!) and still hasn't built the darned thing. should have gone mk1.5 then to get revenge but went sc silly spend instead.
Have no mechanical ability or time - tend to throw money at garages who promise a lot and then just add another neatening up job to the list. Grrrrrr.
My drive can hold 12 cars, and as michelle always said, I try to fill it with them - mainly on a quantity not quality basis.
Have dogs, some deer that escaped into the woods, and used to shoot a little.
Did I miss anything out? - oh yes - I can always assist with a night out if your in South Wales www.ikonroute66.com
