Hello fellow PHers,

I recently joined this forum and would like to briefly introduce myself.

My name is Ray, I am 17 and based in Bristol. I am currently behind the wheel of a tasteful '73 mgb GT which is my p&j.

Good choice!

When I was 17, I had a mini pickup as my first car, and still have it now (although haven't driven it in years, and it's off being restored).

My tip, if and when you need to get something else (long commute, company car, etc. it happens to the best of us), don't sell it! The stories you hear of 'I wish I'd never sold my ......'.

Enjoy the forum, and remember not to go in the lounge unless you have a very thick skin!

Hi Giles, Why not come down to Queen Sqaure tomorrow, the weather will be good and there will be many like-minded car owners to chat to.

I remember them, they came with two sets of keys didn't they?!!
(Last one I promise!)

I had a 1.6 Talbot Sunbeam which was cheaper to insure that a 1.3 escort and an absolute dog!!!
