Hi from Me
15. Sep 2006 at 10:08

Hello all

Ok i am new here, but what i have seen so far, looks like i will be popping back quite a lot.

I live in South West Germany, although i come from Croydon Surrey, UK

This forum was recomended to me by somebody on a different forum.

My car skills are limited, 20 years ago i had no problem fixing cars, changing gearboxs, clutchs, and if they did not start, a good idea what the problem was, but now days what with all the electronics and the general lack of room to do anything with, i find myself struggling a bit, but thaks to forums like this, i am willing to have a go.

Cheers

Tony

Thanks again

Tony

Welcome to the site Tony, I know exactly how you feel I was like you 20 years ago but I open the meega bonnet now scratch my head and think what the hells all that lot for? Shocked

however with the knowledge shared by the members on here it gives me the confidence to take on these new modern fangled computer controlled cars Smiley

Cheers
