I have been reading the HAMB forum for a few years (mostly at work). I have just not came around to sign up until now. I have never been very good at updating or doing anything actually at the computer besides work. For some reason my physiotherapist told me that when you are pushing forty things tend to sag. Hmm, I do actually spread when peeing since I do not like wearing yellow shoes, or have wet socks.. I live in Sweden and I do not have any particular favourite car or brand but I do like when people make that extra effort to do something well engineered. Not just mechanical but also something that appeals to the soul and mind My only HAMB-friendly car is my 2door Plymouth Valiant 1962 which I am about to convert to a gasser-style car. I have some, or most parts to make that happen. I will start a build thread sometime soon. I am also very deep into the cycle car thread here on HAMB and want to do something like that also. Other cars in my yard is at the moment Volvo 444 1957, Volvo 121 1967, Plymouth Barracuda 1967, Dodge Dart 1969 and also a Fiat Panda 4x4 1988... My daily occupation is at a Citroën workshop. As regarding to mechanical work I do all myself except machining. I take pride in what I do and I am not the fastest guy around. I try to juggle my interest, my wife and spend as much time with my kids as possible so unfortunately my cars sometimes gets less attention than they should, luckily my kids are happy to spend time with me in my garage. My wife are happier having me spending time with her elsewhere... I hope that I can contribute in any positive way for some of you here on the HAMB, I know a lot of you are for me. I will as stated start a build thread sometime soon and spread whatever I might possess as it comes to knowledge. Thank you. /Kent
Kent, welcome from Oklahoma. Wait 'til you get close to sixty if your enjoying the signs of aging at forty. We can always use some more gassers. I'm building one now.
Welcome Kent! hope you enjoy here. Where in Sweden do you live? Lovely to see youre workin at a citroen workshop. Car in my avatar is a citroen traction, o well it was before i... well u know.
Thank you for the welcoming. I do live in Vallentuna just north of Stockholm. The love of my life, my wife that is, has all of her family here, so that is why I live here. Only real downside living here is that I can not mark my territory without neighbours seeing me peeing, now that we are talking my style off doing just that.. I do not see myself as old. But I do get pointers from time to time, from my own physique, or lack of it and from my kids. My biggest obstacles at the moment is coming up with relevant issues to write here on the HAMB, choosing a avatar, posting the right pictures and take the time to actually sit in front of the computer beeing socially active. Right now I am in a good "flow" so I am relatively productive. /Kent
