Post by Retromotorman » 27 Apr 2017 09:28 am

Hi to everyone, first time posting here but been looking in from time to time. Started off playing with Volvos years back and had all sorts, big in to rallying, competing,, marshaling and spectating. at the moment have a 1968 UK 142 historic rally car which is at the moment being prepped for sale as need to fund a new project which is a 340 saloon stage car, also have a 360 GLE as my daily and road rally car and which I need some help with, electrically speeking, she has a 38 dgas on top, GAZ front inserts and springs with disco shocks on rear, but is in line for a b234 and other bits. Last but not least I have a 1980 343, one owner with 22k on the clock for restoration when I get around to it which may be a while as I am disabled and spend a lot of time in bed, which is were I am now :? . Other than the important bits I am married with 7 kids and my hobbies include.........Well cars? :D Nice
to meet you all. Tim

Well stopped making children twelve year back & been ill for nearly ten so have to make on while I can, been messing with motors since school days, can manage four hours a day when kids at school and am in good form, it's very therapeutic, but the next day is usually spent in and out of bed with gritted teeth kid.
