Wink Just Thought I'd say hello!

Hi guys,

rs Turbo J put me onto your forum...

I just thought I would say Hi & introduce myself; whilst I've been a vauxhall lover for years I've owned a few fords & have always loved the cosworths & RS Turbo's - (who in their right mind wouldn't!)

I'm a mechanical Design engineer working in the commercial vehicle field, I design powertrain & steering systems primarily, but in my spare time build cars & race engines for Vauxhall, Ford, Peugeot, and grass track / speedway bike engines. Carbs, Injection, methanol, you name it I've had a poke at it!

Anyway - I drive a nissan 350Z & green combo van with a beacon! - go me! - whilst building, slowly, a Redtop Nova.... - I know, I know... But i still love the Ford!
