    Hello from the (sometimes) sunny North East English coast.

    I've been a very long time lurker, shamelessly using this fantastic resource to eventually influence my decision to buy a '50 Ford Shoebox. It's currently in a container on a boat somewhere off the coast of Virginia.

    Plans are a mild period custom, so ride height, period style flathead hop up parts, paint, interior etc to end up with a nice weekend driver
     
  2. Welcome from down the road apiece ; Boston Lincs.
    Charlie.

    Small world Charlie, we’re staying in one of the fishing lodges in Old Leake in the summer!

  5. We are only about 1/2 mile from there. Kettle is already on. The guy who owns the lodges has built a Roundhouse, and, we can see it from our house:D:D. BTW we are IN Old Leake.:D

    Sorry Charlie, totally forgot about meeting up! I enjoyed the exciting facilities of the Old Leake Co-Op and a giant gammon steak at The Bricklayers Arms but apart from that I was sat next to the fishing lake at Lakeside Fishing Retreat
