www.webrodder.com/index.php?page=newProducts&pageNum=12Well worth a look. I've just spent the best part of the weekend looking through the tech features and the forum and theres a whole wealth of knowledge in there. I just recieved an email from the site owner too, asking what a bodger is. I put it down as my job description in my profile ;D ;D ;D

Yes, the Good Rev has been haunting the WebRodder environs and he's behaved admirably. Those who do not are issued a pair of 80-grit sandpaper underwear or made to listen to American politicians spout off on CNN - their choice.
We too have bodgers in the US - in fact the place is swarming with them. On the other hand we also have a lot of serious rodders who have a fine time building and enjoying our project cars. Sound familiar?
If you ignore the airheads flapping their jaws in American media, you'll find we have a lot in common and that rodders love cars and those who build them no matter where they are, what they are, or how much money they cost. I hope you'll find something useful and helpful and perhaps even entertaining at WebRodder.
I also hope that you will share some of your own expertise and skills with us in the WebRodder Forum. There's also a place for good tech stories if you find an urge to contribute some of your efforts.
I've been looking around a bit here and have to say there are some cool rides to be seen. For obvious reasons, we mostly build old American iron (we HAVE it) but I've got to complement you on your rides. Some of the cars I see here I've never seen before and (as goes the rodder's disease) there are a few I'd like to get in my shop, roll up my sleeves, and see if I couldn't endanger my life a bit with.
About the only difficult part here for old American rodders like me is learning to speak or at least understand your version of English. I used to joke that the reason I don't spend a lot of time in Canada is I am worried about learning a foreign language. ;D Even here we have our own versions of rodder slang that vary around the country. Get a Maine rodder into a conversation with a Georgia boy and you have some real entertainment!
It may take a few tries and a couple of cold beers to lubricate the works, but I'll give this new lingo a shot... Meanwhile, keep the rubber side down and try to stay out of major trouble - I'm a bit short of bail money! ;D

Welcome to the site chiefweasel Cool site! US rod sites like this and Hotrodders Bulletin Board are full of useful info (a bit Yank iron biased but then it would be!), but I've found the depth of knowledge amazing.

Hi doc. Glad to see you made it across the pond ;D One of the things I love about this place is we're totally anti 'Scene'. No politics, no prejudice and no elitism. Just a bunch of cool cars and some very enthusiastic owners. Btw, I think theres a few people on here who would love to see some pics of your old Imp if you have any
