Re: Introductions
Hi my name is Paul (feels like an AA meeting doesn't it Lol) but I stuck the M on to save being confused with all the other Paul's and I'll happily answer to any variation of Mr. M, MPL, M Paul etc.
I am actually an administator of a science and techology forum but I'm also a huge fan of vehicles that have survived against the odds and still work.
I have worked in various areas of mechanical engineering but do not currently own a classic (hope that doesn't go against me?) however I have owned, and maintained, a lot of cars over the last 35 years that are now considered to be classics and if I can offer any helpful tips or advice I will try to do so.

Re: Introductions
Hello MPL.
A link to your science and technology forum would be useful, please. I love all that sort of stuff as I'm sure that many here also would and, in spite of appearances to the contrary, there really is a shortage of good, reliable material on the web, particularly in the areas of experimental electronics and tribology.

I should add that other science and technology forums are available.

Re: Introductions
It can't be an AA meeting Paul. I haven't sat at the side of the road for two hours waiting for you to arrive
So many broken bits, So little time

Re: Introductions
Having given up reading PC (in protest about the sudden departure of the old forum), I checked their site for the first time in two months and there's a link to here, so I'm looking forward to chatting to my old (and young) friends again!
As my main interest is classic tractors, and I buy three tractor mags a month, I have plenty of interest to read!
Glad to see the new "indy" forum is up and running and, should my funds improve, I would be happy to donate (a small amount) to its running costs - that was the main reason I bought PC!
I've been spending the winter messing with my model railway (too cold for tractors), but will be starting work again soon. The first two jobs this spring will be to move the sockets etc from one side of the garage to the other and put some shelves up for the oddment boxes. Then I need to make a sandblast cabinet - I have some ideas, but I'm sure there are plans somewhere Ideally mine would be about 4mx3mx3m - big enough for a tractor...
That reminds me - I will have to set up an account with Flickr or somewhere and, if so, I will get some tractor pics for you!

Welcome back. It's good to see old faces re-appearing as well as the new ones

Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.

Re: Introductions
Hiya I'm Chris, been on the site for a while now, have an interest in classics but don't own one (unless you count an N reg rover!). I am a school teacher of Design and Technology - Resistant Materials (woods, metals pleastics), so love the practical side of things. I am not usually in a postion to offer advice but like fixing the car myself if I can.
New skills I would like to learn are 1) Welding (properly) 2) Fixing bodywork 3) Prep and painting. 4) More in depth mecanical stuff. Mebbe i shud do an evening class......
