Yup, she makes me smile every time I look at her.

Of curse then she reminds me of The Rayvynn and I start to cry.

Choco was right...you have too much free time on your hands...Go to your room. No models, no car mags, no internet, and no SRV. :)S(

Is the little hussy comin' stateside with ya'... :?:

Her brother is gettin' pretty big, and she hasn't seen him in about 8 or 9 years now...

Hey Carpsipoo, look what momma picked up fer me for the holidays. It's about 3' x 4', and hand drawn. Got it all framed and hung. Looks good in the office; I might build a shrine... );b(

I found this place a little while back when I checked in on the SRS board (it's dead now, slow) and caught a post of someone asking were everyone was. Someone replied and said they had mostly come over here, so here I came too. There's way more going on here, I just don't have much to talk about usualy unless there's something going on about metal shaping and cutting stuff up. But I lurk every couple nights or so just to see what's up new. Great site. Mark.

I found the forum last week when OzRodders got ill and was very pleasantly surprised by the site. I will definitely be visiting regularly.

I've been around cars for as long as I can recall, my first car having been a 37 DeLuxe Fordoor which originally belonged to the Singer Sewing Machine Company and was in the company colours. Pity it didn't run as good as their product, the steering box fell off the chassis within a mile of the used car dealership I bought it from

made for an interesting moment or two.

There followed many years of buy/modify/sell (usually at a large loss) of more cars than I can remember, a few years back I saw the light and cut back to two a year, and now am managing on one every two years. (Maybe there's a need for Rodaholics Anonymous there!) I'm reliably informed that my current project (26 Chrysler Touring) is my last. If that's the case it will need to be my best.

My wife and I are in the process of buying a house in a town close to where we now live. The 'Tree Change' lifestyle hasn't worked out to be as enjoyable as we had hoped. Keeping up with all the chores necessary for the wellbeing of a small herd of Alpacas, as well as working shift work to pay for the lifestyle, is starting to take its toll.

Currently I work at a plant which manufactures wiring harnesses for trucks, cars, boats, aircraft, medical applications and industrial customers.

I enjoy playing golf when I get time to get to a golf course - not often nowadays.

Happy New Year to all on both sides of the planet.

I found the link on the HAMB also. I have lurked here off and on for a while. In fact, I thought that I had registered a long time ago but when I tried to post I couldn't. So I registered again. or maybe for the first time. Who knows at my age.

Yes, I had included the web site in my original posts but the mods must have removed it. Im sure they had a good reason so I wont post it again.

T42 · January 02, 2007, 01:38:39 AM

After reading this thread, I've found another reason I like this site, all the members from "down under". The only place in the world I have any desire to visit (outside the good ol USA that is) is Australia and New Zealand! Ive gotta get down there before Im too old to enjoy it!! Hopefully I can learn some about your cultures on this site, as you have ours! );b(

I spent some time in Australia in 1969. and I'd like to go back. It's also the only place outside of the USA that I could get my wife to go.

One other thing about this site. Have you noticed how most of the member's ages fall into the late 50s to early 60s? Interesting.
