Title: Hi from Me
Post by: Tony on 15 September 2006, 10:08:36

Hello all

Ok i am new here, but what i have seen so far, looks like i will be popping back quite a lot.

I live in South West Germany, although i come from Croydon Surrey, UK

This forum was recomended to me by somebody on a different forum.

My car skills are limited, 20 years ago i had no problem fixing cars, changing gearboxs, clutchs, and if they did not start, a good idea what the problem was, but now days what with all the electronics and the general lack of room to do anything with, i find myself struggling a bit, but thaks to forums like this, i am willing to have a go.  :)

Cheers

Tony

Hi

Any perticular reason why you returned back to the UK, as it stands at the moment, i can't see my self ever returning to the UK to live.

Thanks for allthe welcomes guys.

On the first problem i have posted, i have had plenty of advice and help regarding my (what is looking like) my cam sensor.

Thanks again

Tony

Hello, The reason I returned to the UK was that I was serving with the British Army and has posted back to the UK, but trying to return next year 8-)

Excellent, cheap bits again with free delivery.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

You'll be missed, but on the plus side, i'll be able to come and visit and we can give that Autobahn a blast.  ;)
