not real new to hamb but wanted to intro myself because i found a new love. name is randy, 40 years old, live in the fla keys. raced cars in fla for 15 years and have loved cars as long as i can remember. it hit me in 1970 when i saw a 1970 mustang new and the story goes on from there. i own a 55 buick, 28 ford, 67 triumph, 57 olds j2 rocket(motor), 66 327(motor) etc,etc...i live for cars. i have been at old skool rodz for sometime but my need to talk about the weather came to an end at the turkey rod run last month. i was parked with the "salvagerz" in the best parking at the speedway i might add, and noticed that the people that truly loved hot rods and there history were all comunicating on the hamb. so when i got home i gave it a try and realized what i have been missing. real lifetime rodders with real lifetime love for cars with old history. let it be known that "last year" i was NOT into ricers or moms old hand me down that i put 20's on. my 1928 was built buy me and only me in my garage. it has bullet holes that were there when i saved its life from the crusher. glad i found the hamb again. randy
