Hi. I'm Den, 44, father of 3 wee girls and live in Ontario Canada.
I LOVE cars!! Especially those available in the U.K. as we don't have much of interest here.
I have an addiction to British car magazines but can't afford to feed that addiction too often plus finding them can be fun!
Currently I am trying to fight Congestive Heart Failure so currently am carless. So to "get my fix" I run my own forum and a diverse bunch it is. LOL. I also try to get as much info as possible and learn from forums such as this one.
Hopefully you guys will let me tag along and hang out with you.
I am predominately a Ford guy but love everything from old Rolls Royces to Rover Metros!! And Minis (the real ones) and Rover P6s and..........
Some of my past stuff:

Hello and welcome
I have great fun at car shows when standing by either of my car's I tell them "I don't own any American cars". I then explain "they are Canadian"
Both my Crown Victoria and Chevy Caprice were built in your neck of the woods and only my International truck was built in the U.S.
Enjoy your self here. |

If I recall right the Crown would have been built on St Thomas and the Chev Oshawa?
I had an '88 Crown Vic and it was one of the most reliable cars I ever owned. Got 18 mpg at a steady 100 mph too. LOL. _________________ Den.

Your right. My Caprice was built in 81 as an export model and has been in the UK from new. My Crown Vic is the second one I have owned. The first was a 1979 cop car (P71) and my current Crown Vic (Taxi) was destined for NY but was shipped to the UK when the cab company went into liquidation. _________________ 1964 International Harvester |
