Just saying hello

#1 Post by The other man »

Hi guys, just registered so i thought i’d say hi’ya :lol:

Ok, so ive been ankering for a dolly sprint for a while now, reliving my 20’s i guess.
Knowledge of cars i can write on the back of a stamp and my tool box consists of a few spanners and some old sockets. Nothing a plastic food bag couldn’t carry, oh, and i dont have a garage to work on the car :lol:
Yeah, one massive learning curve its going to be for me

Any advice welcome!

I'm not really a shows kind of person, more a drive it all over the place classic car person. I'm doing a run up to Scotland for 2 days with another club at the start of August and then a run across Europe in September.
Cheers, Sam

I've only just picked up on this! (I spend too much time on YouTube).

I'm "supposed" to be the AO for West Yorkshire and I'm also from Halifax. My 1850 has ben languishing since 2016 as I've been busy with the rest of my fleet.
