Who's this J.C., Fred? Do I know him? :) <simulated tear jerking oscar style speech>Well, I'd like to thank my mum (for, um, lets just say, being *persuaded* that this car was a good idea), my dad (for being an extra pair of hands whenever I've taken on the bigger jobs - even though he know's less than I do), the P.O. for selling me a car that has seemingly fallen to pieces since, the car itself for giving me a perpetual grin.... hmmm... have I forgot anyone... oh yes, last and most importantly of all THE LIST!
A short time back...? precisely 1 1/2 years now... (also coinciding with 3 years of me being let loose on public roads) and my passion has only grown for this car. I must admit that there have been low points though - but they've only made me stronger. I still have a lot to learn - I've only scratched the surface - but at least on the odd occasion I can give back to the group now.
