    Here is another old git knocking to come in, I am 52, and live on the south coast near Hastings, at the moment I have a 1958 Apache, its in primer and is pretty much bone stock, twenty years ago it would have been stripped to the last nut within hours of me getting it to the garage, now I need to think about it, just waiting for the red mist to descend and start obeying the voices, you hear them too, dont you?
    hoping not to be mauled :eek:

    Hallo mate, I know a guy in Scotland goes by the name of jockbolter on the stovebolt forums, are you one and the same?
    As for the airstream, sadly its not mine, I saw it parked outside someones house, so I backed up as close as I dare then my son jumped out and took the pic! although I am smiling, Im thinking God sake hurry up, if he comes out, were in deep trouble!
    nice to meet!
