Hi everyone, thought I would introduce myself. Names Sean (bit obvious really!), live in the West Midlands, current cars are a 1966 Chevy El Camino, a 1972 A series Opel Manta and I've just (literally) bought a late FD shape Vauxhall Ventora of ebay. Previous cars have included a couple of FD victors (one with a small block Chevy), a 1991 Pontiac Firebird Formula 350, an SD1 Vitesse with a 4.2 JE Motors engine (probably the quickest car i've owned), a couple more SD1's and more Ford Cortina's and Escorts than I can remember! Although they werent quite retro when I owned some of them! Guess I'm showing my age  If somebody could be kind enough to give me a quick guide on how to put photo's up I will start a thread on the readers ride section if anybody wants to see them ( I have already started a photobucket acount) Cheers Sean |

If you've already got a Photobucket set up, then just dump your photos in there, and then copy and paste the contents of the third box under each pic (it starts ![]() ) into your post.  |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

Thanks for the welcome everybody. "Posted by reanimation on Today at 4:33pm
Hey welcome cool cars, I need a Firebird in the future."I think third gen Camaro's and Firebirds are much under rated. I really enjoyed mine, they really started to get back towards being performance cars again. Mainly due to the success of the mid 80's fox body Mustangs. "Posted by PhoenixC on Today at 5:26pm
Hi Sean and welcome. Good choice of cars.
JE engineering engined SD1, very "Yeh, it was nice, picked it up for a song. The full spec was incredible, basically a full list of everything that you could want in an SD1, JE 4.2 motor with there own JE101 cam, big valve heads, Jag injectors and air meter, adjustable ECU. Stainless exhaust manifolds and system (with the one box removed, the bloke I bought it off said it was too quiet with it, certainly wasn't with out it ), lowered with koni adjustables, Jag front brakes, the list goes on.....unfortunately it was a mess cosmetically. The bloke I bought it off was quite open about how much filler was in it, he had given it a quick lick of paint just to get it all the same colour. Realistically it needed new front wings and complete rear quarters, the latter being a bit ambitious for my bodywork skills, so sold it on to a mate at work who is seriously in to SD1's. Its now sat in his garden looking very sorry for itself waiting its turn, hes slow but very meticulous, will be a nice car when done. Unfortunately havent got any pics of it as I lost them when a hard drive went tits up on my computer. The pics I have got of some cars, past and present are now on the readers ride section. Sean |
