Title: New member in Newcastle
Post by: doubleg on 28 March 2006, 14:16

Hi all,

My name is Chris and I live on the outskirts of Newcastle Upon Tyne.

I have joined the forum as I have recently started Road Rallying in a Mk3 Driver having previously been competiting in various Fords and Vauxhalls.

I run my own business supplying competition parts for most makes and models and also supplying newly manufactured classic car parts (mainly for Escort rally cars), custom made springs (non of your halfords rubbish), and race/rally transmission components etc.

Regarding the Driver I am on a steep learning curve, learning the problem areas (not many so far, fingers crossed) and finding out more about the car in general.

Chris

Hello there and welcome.

Hi Robbo, the southerner thing seems to be the case on a lot of the forums.

I am also a member of the oldskoolford forum from the old Escorts and I think there are only three or four of us on there.

Whereabouts are you? I am near Whitley Bay.

Chris

P.S. I have added some photos of the car onto the "My Gallery" thing, don't know if they will show up yet.

I'm from just the other side of Sunderland from you, Peterlee.
Add some pics to the Dub rides section too so that we can all have a little nosey and let you know what we think!!  :wink:

I'll add some in there now. Don't have many so far. I have added two to the "Show us Ya Car" thread in the Mk3 section

Hi Dinx

I probably shouldn't complain to much about the shandy brigade, I lived down there for a while and some of them know where I live.

Suppos as I am new on here I should also skip the "sand dancer" comment.
