Evening all,
So, new forum looks to be up an running so thought It best to introduce myself and get the ball rolling !
I'm Rhys Stretch - it's Welsh, pronounced like "Ris" not "Reece" or "Rice", i get called Rice a lot at work believe me
Always had a passion for things that move since a young age, especially cars.
I grew up fixing old trucks and cars with my dad so I naturally grew into an out and out car nut !
I'm a qualified mechanical design engineer and I'm technical manager for one of the country's largest power transmission specialists.
I'm handy with 3D design software so, combined with my job, it means i'm always sketching up wacky engine swaps.
I've currently got a few odd ball engine conversion ideas in the works so watch this space !
My real passion is classic / retro British cars so my current stable consists of:
- 1989 Austin-Rover mini 30 which i restored about 6 or 7 years ago for my first car
- 1989 Vauxhall Astra GTE 16v which i've 95% finished restoring to OEM spec for my dad
- 1990 Vauxhall Carlton 3.0i CDX Estate which i bought to fix up and use as a retro tow car
- 2011 MINI Clubman Cooper S which i admit isn't classic by any means but i needed a daily
I'll post a thread for each car giving each a bit more background as well as future plans if anyone is interested.
I think that's about it for now before I bore you lot to tears lol
I think this forum could really be a good place for us all to indulge in our ridiculous car hobbies so here's to ModNutz !
Take it easy,
Rhys.
