Another newbie

Just thought i would introduce myself. I have just finished a Fiero Factory Euro 427, with a Ford 2.8 v6. OK so it isn't a Dax or an AK, but its a project i have finished and shes all mine.....

I've been on the road for 5 days now,(after 6 years in the making)_ and hope to be able to get to Stoneleigh this weekend. I have to admit there are a few tweeks needed, but i suspose that comes with the territory.

Welcome to the club Michael.

Well done on finishing your car and getting it on the road. Feels great dosen't it.

These cars are never finished though. There's always things to tweek.

Craig,
Thanks for the welcome. The "Grin" factor is still with me & it may take awhile for me to come back down to earth

Hi Michael,

Welcome and well done. Great to have another "local" Cob and Spec`s chuffed to bits to have another Fiero mate. Hope to see you at Stoneleigh. Most of us never stop tweeking.

Bob

Welcome Michael,

You deserve a gold star after 6 years of toil.
Nice to have another Cob in the Midlands.
Phil

Aha Fresh meat for the Birmingham Posse ( ok the Redditch Old Folks Group) to rip the pee out off.

Hope to see you at the local meets, and as its not far away from you a Sunday afternoon trip down to the Barnt Green Inn is always a good laugh.

All the posers park their Astons and other exotica right outside the pub next door to the patio, do like wise in the Cobra and it will draw a crowd whilst their Bentleys etc are ignored.

Cheers,

Tony
