F-Body Europe

I've just noticed this section. I'm 42 so pretty old I imagine in the great scheme of things. My first Yank was a 1985 Corvette TPi that spoilt my love of cars. After that, nearly every car was boring! I am a barrister and prosecute but save your jeers because the speed cameras work on me too! The Corvette had many fine high speed jaunts. It took out an E-type Jag that was a lot faster than I imagined it could ever be. It destroyed a BMW 840 but was even against a BMW 328 up to 140mph when I had to pull off. An XJS V12 blew his engine trying to keep me behind him. Hehe.
As a victim of the Child support Agency, I've had to juggle more financial agreements than I care to remember and I'm kept poor by having too many children in different places hence some dodgy cars like a 1972 Aussie Chrysler Valiant 318 that handled well up to about 45, a 1981 Mustang 3.3 Ghia that would have performed superbly but for the weight of that skin of a rice pudding stuck to the back bumper. I then had a 1987 Z28 which was a great car but just wasn't fast enough for my liking and so I bought my LS1 which will provide the base for future mods. If I change my mortgage next year I may build "an extension" on it or fit "a new kitchen in it" if you know what I mean). I rate the LS1 the best built Chevy I've ever had by a country mile and the Vette the best at speed. I have most of my own basic mechanics in the past but the LS1 looks a bit more demanding and electrics are not my thing.
We have a local club called the South Wales American Car Club which meets every 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month. We have an "inner faction" who self-title ourselves the Open Headers Street Racing Club which sounds a whole lot less starchy. We've got a few older classic cars but a lot are on shoestring budgets (well, slip-on shoes more like). My mate has just this minute bought a red 95 Trans Am and I'll be tempting him onto the site shortly. Whatever their shortcomings, 4th gens rock!!

Welcome to the board! Hope to maybe get to meet you at one of the car shows or an OSL race day ...
