Hello from Brummyland

It's like walking into a new pub, and meeting all the regulars from your old pub!!!

42, come from Bromsgrove just SW of Birmingham (in fact I can see J4 of the M5 from my window) and currently drive this:

I've got a FWD shopping-box as well but I guess no-one wants to see that.

Anyway, I'm off for a look round (looking round is easy when you're a big fat Brummie).

biggrin

Cheers guys.....it's an Oxford, rare taxi-spec (sickproof vinyl seats, bare door trims) on a '71 K-plate, but that won't stop me! About to get some wide steels, front-end drop and satin black (or red oxide or satin blue, not 100% decided yet, but it's not staying that colour, I hate it).

Runs a stock and very healthy 1622 for now, might go for an 1800 MGB lump next year.
