a big hello to everyone

being a new member and new to this on line stuff i thought i should let you all know a little bit about me !
im 41 years young and live in Romford Essex with my wife and 2 kids and work as a self employed carpenter

i currently own an 85 dodge ram pick up which i have been using (and loving!!!) daily for the past five years .shes 360 cube and a bit beat up (a proper work truck) and has never let me down during my ownership.
ive also just bought a 68 coronet sedan 500 which had been sitting unloved in a garden for 5 years with a faulty gear box.
a year after spotting her ,i finally got my hands on her and at the moment shes getting a gear box rebuild and whatever else is needed to get back on the road.
God im so slow at this typing stuff !!!!!

anyway .i look forward to chatting (slowly!) / meeting some members

oh yeah you guys got some looooooovly cars !!!!!!!

best regards Gary

Welcome Gary,

Don't worry about the slow typing and being new to the internet.........Actually, you can't be that bad at it, you found US!!!! :thumbright:

This is the best place for all the tech stuff you may require (amongst other stuff)!!

As Steve (Polara) said, if your new to the scene (Mopar classics) the the Mopar Nats at Santa Pod on the last weekend of July is a must.

Racing, Mopars, Parts and Pints............ :D

Tears of pain and joy are just round the corner... Gotta love these old cars.

Sounds great - a real cars-in-barns story. Did you just knock on the door and pester someone until they sold ? do tell !

PS - welcome.
