Hi there guys an girls, my name's Chris. Been lurking on here for far too long and decided to do the right thing! So a little bit about myself................... What started it all off for me was a visit to the drags in '68 ,the year I left school. Kinda wandered in and out of that and rodding for a while. Went back to racing and eventually ended up as crew chief for a BB/FC. Back into rodding in the late '80s and ended up building a gl*** '32 roadster with supercharged 2liter Pinto power. This winter the motor was updated with a 16valve Cosworth cylinder head and keeping the blower. At the rod shows in the UK, most people camp at night. So we needed some thing to carry all our camping stuff and end up putting this small "airstream" style camping trailer together. Over the last few years, I've kinda kept "my hand in" by crewing on this car "for fun". Have been travelling to the States since about '80 and attending many rod events, national drags and more recently nostalgia drags.....have attended four CHRRs now. Well think that's enough for now!!
Thanks for the welcome guys. Unfortunately not, I'm visiting Truxdelux next week and will be travelling back home that weekend.
Hi Chris,welcome and nice looking set-up you've got there(love the trailer), I hope you packed the waterproofs for visiting Truxdelux!
welcome! my wife and i make it over there about once a year-super fun. welcome to the board, lots of great info here.
I really hope so....Skye's such an amazing place! It's been pretty wild here on the west coast today..... Truxdelux is a lucky sod!
Yeh, a real cool place. I lived up there near Truxdelux for a while, amazing place. That's why I like to go back and visit.
You and I know that's just a stiff breeze up here, Charlie! I was in Ramasaig just after the winter storms a few years back, and half the trees had gone! Not to mention the roof of the cottage! Phunkie...bring some of that southern sunshine with ya!
He is 750mls from home with us at the mo. Will post some more when he gets home. (next week). 50scotbolt>>> the sun is shining!! Charlie!!
Yeah Charlie,I had noticed....... I'm in shock at the moment! Looks like Phunkie came up with the goods....... (Thanks mate!) BTW did he bring the Deuce? The rest of the weekend is supposed to be good too. Have a good one guys.....
This is just after the top was finished, before it was polished......... This one, after last winters make over with new wheels..............
That would look amazing........... behind my truck! You got back from Skye safely then. How's the hangover?
