Re: Introductions
Hi, I'm Hal from near Bristol
I don't have a classic yet as i'm still at uni and therefore have the student weapon of choice - an 11yr old Fiesta. At least it only has 25,000 on the clock . In my defence in the family we have a '63 Sunbeam Alpine SIII, a '61 MkI Midget and a '74 MkIII Mini 850

Re: Introductions
Hi all,
I'm Stuart and I recently bought a 1979 peugeot J7 horsebox with Theault coachwork. I have no horse. The intention is to turn into a camper, but we'll see........... I'll be looking for a good bodyshop in the Fife area if anybody knows, also, if anybody has a good contact in a French breakers yard, I'm looking for doors!

Re: Introductions
MG Mal back online.
Westbury Wilts for me.
Was disssapointed about the old forum vanishing like it did.
Just found the link to this one via the LROI mag forum. (funny how that one is still going and the PC one was cut )
Nice to be back amongst fellow motor nuts.

Re: Introductions
Hello....I'm Brian (funnily enough) and was a member of the old PC Forum (or was it the one before that...)
46, drive HGV's for a living, long-time poster over on Retro-Rides (though as I'm getting older I'm getting to appreciate the standard stuff a lot more than the 'modified classics' the RR ethos is based on). Own nothing remotely interesting at present but in the last five years have had several interesting motors ('82 Nissan RD28T-motored Range-Rover, '71 Morris Oxford, Slammed '81 Citroen Dyane, '89 Citroen 2CV6, Slammed '88 Citroen 2CV Bamboo) sat on my driveway as well as a host of crumbling 90's daily-driver wrecks...
Service crew member for a rally team ('81 Talbot Sunbeam with 250bhp Vauxhall red-top) quite a few weekends a year, the remainder are spent marshalling/spectating on rallies and visiting car shows, in both cases indulging in my other passion, which is photography.
Nice to see the new PC Forum up and running, recognise a fair few usernames from the old one and RR.

Re: Introductions
Good to be back...ish.
Again, I was a regular poster on the previous site and missed it like crazy when we were tossed out into the wilderness. My username is now a bit of a misnomer as, after 20 odd years of happy Alfa'ing, I no longer own one having sold my series 3 and not really fancying any of the replacements since.
I currently have a VW camper which is the subject of an 11 year non-rolling resto (don't ask). An early Gentry kit car (masquerading as a semi restored triumph chassis with some bits hanging off of it), a Jeep Cherokee currently undergoing pre-MOT work, and an MGF which I couldn't refuse at the price it was offered to me (spookilly working and very reliable).
My front garden is officially designated by the local authority as a Rust Farm.
My ambition is to give up work and finally finish one of the projects that I started. The reality is, that no sooner I get back into the swing of one or other of the outstanding, my dear company sends me off on another enthralling jaunt. By the time I get back, I've not only forgotten where I'd got to, but my wife has compiled another snagging list of jobs for my urgent attention.
Good to see some familiar names again
