Hi all.
I'm 40 years old/young, live at Coulby Newham, south of Middlesbrough on Teesside in the North East of England, U.K. I originate from Kirkham in Lancashire, that's North West England for those that don't know. Where know as 'Lankies', by some.
I've an interest in building Hot Rods and I'm on a mission to improve/my skills pool/spectrum of general fabrication and car/Rod building. I'm building - woefully slowly - a Model T Roadster, glass-fibre body, Rover V8, etc. I'll post a piccy later. I also hang out with a bunch of old car Guys called TYMC. A really cool bunch of Motorheads who's emphasis is very much driving old cars. Off road, on road, up hill, down dale, across moors! You'll find me causin' a fuss on the NSRA Hot Rodder's message board too.
I'm certified, good an' proper!
