Hi Steve,

Welcome to our happy little community and it was great to meet you at Overlord yesterday. It's always nice to meet people and put a face to the 'username', and to find out the real person behind the 'username' as well. War & Peace is 21st to 25th July.

Hope to see you around and about soon.

Take care,
Gordon & Val.

Welcome Steve

Nice to see you at Overlord and thaks for showing me round your lightweight.

I think my gearbox could do with some more EP90 after the drive home it got a tad warm and started to make some new noises :roll: At least I have a new box ready and waiting :P

Back Again.as requested by a couple of members here is the lowdown on my other car,
A 1958 Austin Cambridge A55 Mk 1,
Have owned it for 10 years and is the reason I bought another project,
There is nothing more I can do to it, all work has been done by me and a coupla friends roped in to shout at,it has won several prizes in classic car shows but this is not the reason I enter, its for the fun and friendly atmoshere at the shows, which I am glad to say also extends to the Military shows and Forums,
If you watched BBC3 or BBC2 last year the car featured in an episode of "Britains Best Drives" where Richard Wilson, (I Don't Believe It) celebrated 50 years of the Motorway by using cars of the era and 50 year old Tourists Guides,by attempting to destroy as many gearboxes as he could, a feat he achieved with the Moggy Minor.
Some Piccies........................
