Hi I have been browsing around here for a few weeks and feel it is now time to introduce my self. I have a Triumph Acclaim which is currently at the MOT Station but should be ready tomorrow ( fingers crossed). I bought my Acclaim in November and am really chuffed with it. My daily driver is a Suzuki Swift 998cc which although its a '98 model still looks the same as the 80's one. I previously drove a Volvo 480, Punto 60s and a Rover 25. I am from Stockport, and I have noticed that there are a few of you around here, so it would be great to hear from you. ( Especially if you know of any where I can get storage ) Cheers for now Dime Bar My Acclaim  |

Thanks for the welcome. and I agree everyone should "Bring on the Beige!" I think you would find it obviously does. Remember adverts don't lie. |
