Hi.
Just signed up from across the pond. Looks like a very good site (I've heard good things). I live in Baltimore, and sell Ford parts for a living. I currently own two modified Merkur XR4Ti's, a MK1 Fiesta, a Mk1 Golf Gti (daily driver), and a 2.3 turbo powered MGBGT, among other projects. Thought I'd introduce myself. My name's Nick. I'm sure you'll be hearing more from me.

Welcome to Pf!

Merkurs eh? Do you know Erik and Taryn (usernames on here : Fastmaul + ZTee24) by any chance? Taryn is a Merkur owner, and Erik owns a Sierra Cos, and they live in New Jersey

Baltimore isn't far from NJ (I think it might actually be IN NJ iirc ) and Merkurs are rare Oh and the internet isn't a small place, and many people across the world know other people regardless of distance or land mass

Shows how good my geography is then

When I was out there, E+T were gonna take me to meet up in Maryland on the Sunday, but Erik had chronic tooht issues (what a pussy lol) and it was raining

But I got a ride in T's Merkur that day, so all was cool
