What's up (or down) everyone?
I'm Rolph, looking to move close to Coventry
Currently have an AE86 Levin coupe project back home in "Dutchland" and looking to ship that over to the UK...
Daily: 2010 Aygo (boring little tin can, but gets me where I need to go)
If you see a blue aygo with dutch plates driving around, that'll be me.
Cheers,
Rolph

Name: dale
Location: deeside, north wales.
Rides: too many at the moment! I have- 4 x Mitsubishi delica l400 (1xbreaker,1xworkhorse,1xfixer-upper,1xproject) Lexus ls400 (donor for l400 project) Nissan 200sx s13 (needs welding and selling) Hyundai coupe 1.6 (for banger racing) Peugeot 306 (ready to scrap)
Shows attended: used to do occasional J and 200sx shows aswell as the odd drift event. Just the banger racing at the moment but hoping to get round some shows and do some camping next year.
I joined on here as I like being involved in the car scene and retro rides is the most relevant to what I'm up to at the moment. Looking forward to chatting to some of you and hope I can contribute in some way.

Name - erm, Mark Am Gemini, enjoy walks in the rain, cuddles on sofa and holding hands. curse word, wrong website! Location - deepest darkest Cornwall. Interest - Been known to own the occasional BMW. Most recent addition is a 1971 1600-2, otherwise known as "The Deathtrap" thanks to previous owners "modifications". Also do some speed events, such as Crystal Palace, in my E30 M3 which I found in Ireland. 2 years in and am still building my "daily driver" which is an extensively modified E21 and my goal is for it to be finished and in some shows next year. Mind you, I said that in 2013. Am also E21 registrar for BMW Car Club and write some freelance bits for PPC and the like. My goal is to finish the E21 before fossil fuels are depleted and we all have hover boards! Me playing at Llandow. My E21 with 2.8 on throttle bodies etc & Cat Cams.
