Hi mate im andy from the isle of sheppey in kent. I think a small map of the uk is a good idea. If the maps a slightly smaller size then the pins would cover a whole area rather than an exact postcode match. For instant mine would show me from sheppey rather than narrow it down to the exact town/village.

Re: Where is everyone from?

Post by wrexhamlager »

suppose I should introduce myself!

Ive been a regular broswer of the site over the years, ive posted before years ago but forgotten my account so ive started a new one.

My names Rob, 31, live in Wrexham, North Wales and have had my Mk3 Laser now for a year. Today it went through the MOT as sweet as a nut (well, nearly, needed to do some work on the brakes before it went through).

I love my Capri, have always wanted one since I was a little kid and love the way they turn heads, start conversations and just basically put two big fingers up to the "Euro World eco box" car culture we seem to live in today where all cars look the same.

I also have an MGB GT (which is for sale at the moment as I fancy an XR2 or a Mini for a change) and my workhorse - a 1996 BMW Compact.
