Hi from newbie sprint owner.

#1 Post by lazyboy »

Just wanted to say hi to everyone at this great club!

I purchased a carmen red sprint that had been stored in a garage for the past 10 years.
After some fettling from Jonners it is now in daily use as my main car!

Look forward to seeing some of you at the shows this summer.

Welcome to the forum. That Sprint is looking good. It makes me want another. I've resized the photo because it was too big even on my 24" monitor.

That is gorgeous... :shock:

I love that colour (I am a bit biased) as it looks so flippin' classy!

You've got one heck of a beautiful car there sir.
