Hi,

I'm new to the forum and believe it's good manners to introduce myself so I'm John, live in Devon and, while I don't really have any 'classic' cars my main driver is a 1994 Toyota so is getting there. What I do have, however, is a collection of rusty motorcycles, a 1960s/70s caravan and an interest in all old mechanical matters from paraffin camping stoves to steam engines to boats to....

I look forward to reading posts here and, who knows, maybe even making the odd contribution.

Cheers,
John

Hello John and welcome.

I don't have anything approaching a Classic but take an interest in a wide range of subjects. OCC (Old Classic Car) Forum is diverse in both subject matter and opinions.

Hello John,

Many of us here have wide interests in things mechanical, and added to the fact that there are members from all over the globe, I am sure that you will enjoy discussi9ons many and various. Your motorcycles sound interesting. Any chance there is a Rover among them?

Welcome John to the most friendly, and dare I say knowledgeable, old vehicle forum around

Welcome to the forum John. I think you might be surprised at how many people would like to know more about your "collection of rusty motorcycles". Wink

Hi John and welcome. I have similar interests in all things mechanical but living in Scotland we have the Paddle Steamer Waverley. There was a very nice little motor museum in Colyton and I am sure you will know it. What a pity it closed.
