Hi All. Just a quick intro as I'm new to this board. I'm as old as my tongue but a little older than my teeth, grey in what hair I have left and hair covering all areas that aren't on top of my head. I've had a myriad of retro motors, mainly when they were just cheap runabouts. I run a Disco1 everyday, have a 41000mile MX5 on 95 plate for play time and a 55 Ford 103E Popular that will eventually be a finished running rod. I go to as many shows and events as I can in the local area, which is West Norfolk and the Fens. There is an annual custom and classic show in the village that usually draws in a few hundred excellent cars and a few thousand visitors. I post photos of the shows and cars to flickr here www.flickr.com/photos/100558117@N05/And I am an avid car spotter of those out and about that don't get shown in fields smelling of Autoglym but used on the road, some owned by people that don't know they have a vehicle that's now getting rare around them. Posts go on twitter via my profile @bmx4walpole As you might've guessed I'm into old skool BMX too, I have a Gen 3 Haro Master Freestyler that I've restored and a Gen1 Master copy that is kept deliberately dog rough and ridden on the track to see how many people mistake it for the real mccoy. I sell stuff on Ebay and am getting really fed up of the fees, so I've lurked long enough round here and thought I'd give selling one of my motors a go on here. Cheers All. Matt

I joined RR on three occasions in the past and then promptly forgot all of my log in details and so never came back (really curse word memory). I've just been having an email chat with another RR member though and he asked me if I was on here, which prompted me to see if I could regain access, so here I am back here again. I currently have two vehicles, but one is up for sale right now and hopefully will find a new owner to enjoy it as much as I have over the last five years. 1. 1986 Bedford CF2 Petrol 2.0 5 speed 2. 1960 Humber Super Snipe saloon racing car Bedford is for sale. Humber is my new toy.

I will get an ad up in here for the van next week if it hasn't sold. I think I potentially have a buyer already though and he's got to travel a long way to view it so I'm giving him first refusal until Sunday. After that... I'll stick it for sale in here too. I have put an ad on C&C though, purely because that seems to be a slow burn kind of place. I had the van advertised on there for weeks with no interest. Then, in the space of a single weekend I discovered I was six weeks past the MOT renewal date (terrible memory) and five days from going on a three week summer holiday. Naturally, at that point... everyone was interested in coming to view the van. C&C ad FYI... (sorry if it's a no-no posting ads in here.. I'm happy to remove it if so) www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C542441
