*stands up*
Hi, my name is Tommy... and i'm a Top Gear addict...
*sits back down*
now, for the "serious business"
I'm Tommy, i'm 23 years old, and live in Norway, in a small'ish town called Haugesund, on "da west side" of Norway "west side reppin' yo"
I work at a paintshop, still learning, so it's mostly sanding cars and parts down, and maybe painting the backside of a fender or a hood.
I enjoy cars, as i figure most of us on this forum would, i currently drive... NOTHING! *cries*
i got two cars though...
1980 Buick Century Estate Wagon, currently parked in the garage, as i tossed the stock little 4.9 litre lawnmower engine out, and replacing it with a 5.7 litre Camaro engine, yey for sleepers!
1979 Ford Mustang Ghia, a Notchback, with a broken V6, but that just matches the rest of the car.. which is a wreck... with rust... and the sunroof is missing... and it rains a lot in Norway... so it's pretty much my project, it'll be a V8 powered Mustang once done, and with a Tremec gearbox, manual transmission for the win!
now.. my ex cars...
first ever car: 1985 Volvo 244DL, or a armored tank to put it plainly...
only N/A car that sounded like it had antilag that i've ever heard, my friends could always tell when i were coming, lots of engine sound, and what sounded like an exhaust full of firecrackers, i actually managed to blow up the muffler.. and not only once either... it actually blew apart, so we took a hammer to it, banging it somewhat together, and welded it shut. (we = my father, while i was looking)
I loved my Volvo, i could pass cars even with oncoming traffic, ditch = another lane, it ended it's days in a tree... well... being a Volvo 240, it ended a tree's life as i hit it, and i coulden't be bothered to buy a new bumper, so i gave it to the firebrigade to burn up.
second car: 1978 Ford Mustang II Coupe, 2.8 V6, 90hp... HOW DO THEY GET ONLY 90HP OUT OF A 2.8?!?!
it reminded me more of a Honda Prelude than a Mustang, and it was a tiny car, i kept hitting my head in the roof on speedbumps, although, it's the only old american car that i've tried, that could go around a corner.
It was also a nightmare to get parts for, i called up Ponyparts (norwegian shop for mustang parts) they seemed confused by the existance of Mustangs from '74 to '78, so they had no parts for it, so i sold it to some kid, who always wanted a Mustang, which then promptly broke the engine by not taking care of it.
and then i got the two current cars.
that's about it, so...
Hi! i'm new here! please don't set me on fire.
