Welcome to the site Sir

Sounds like an interesting collection of cars and if you wouldn't mind sharing details of the S13 stuff, that would be great :thumb:

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.
Ant,the s13 will be out by march.
Ben,the 3000gsi is very scary as you say but i love just wafting along at a steady speed blowing chavvy boy racers into the weeds. Not bad for a car thats done 200k on the original engine,gearbox,diff,and head gasket and every year it flies through the mot and emissions are still only 0.4co and 200hc ppm with no cat.
Tony,i saw the feature in jtuner so i thought i would have a look through the site first before deciding to join to see what its like on here.First thing i noticed was no petty squabbling like on certain other forums,and the mass of very nice cars on here,so here i am an all paid up member of a cracking forum which i hope lasts for a long time :thumb:
