Blue Eyed Grease Kitten

[twinkletwinkle247]

Hello! New gal here... Just moved to Chicago from Dallas leaving behind a '62 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. My heart still hurts so I figured I'd occupy the time I used to spend turning wrenches to talk shop!

I started at a young age on air cooled VWs and gradually worked my way towards the classics. Tend to be somewhat of a Mopar girl and still consider myself to be in "tinker" status...

Always looking to learn more, so share all the specs and tips you want!!!

PS- I'm not shy so hit me up if you'd like to know more.... :D

[Anderson]

And just what the hell was so bad about Dallas???

Just kidding. Welcome!

[poor247]

Hmm kinda funny how people that love rods tend to start out with vw's. Guess its cause they are so cheap. Good to have you here anyway, and lets get a new project for ya:)

[PeteMattersen]

If your new in town and got the blues from a lack of a car, I would highly suggest making out to the Hunnert car pileup next weekend. Its in morris, Il if your not familiar and its one hell of a good time.

[glenn33]

Like Pete said, deffinately need to check out the Hunnert Car Pileup. There will be a HAMB meet and greet on Saturday afternoon...good time for sure...

Guten Tag!!! Thanks for the welcome guys!!! I was actually on the Chrome Czars board first :p I already took off work to make it to the Pile Up too! I have plans, but if they fall through I will be sleeping in a rental :D I'll be there rain or shine.... to take away my cold hard steel blues!

And the tatt since some of you have asked is a Shamrock Angel cruisin' outer space... If you know my name you'd understand a little better... Plus I'm so Irish it should be illegal... 100% flammable here boys. Careful.

[glenn33]

Careful there Kitten...when you're talkin car shows, "rain" is a four letter word....

AAAhhhh... you're soooo right. I retract my use of an old cliche! I'll be there no matter what. LOL Is that better? I don't want to be held responsible for four letter words other than the ones that fly out of my mouth.....

But my daddy's a sailor so I have my excuse!:D

[Mule Farmer]

Welcome Twinkle

You sure know how to get a guys attention. There are a few girls on the board that like to wrench I'm sure you'll be able to make some new friends. With the title to your thread I'm sure there will be a bunch of guys lining up to be your friend, grease kittens are hard to find. Good luck on finding yourself some new wheels.

"Welcome to the fast lane here on the HAMB, hold on for the ride." I think you can handle the HAMB by the looks of your avatar. Good luck lady...................

You could always go camping there.... I didn't book a hotel soon enough, so that is what I am doing.

You would think there is a Hamb auction on the newbie with the amount of responses(which I'm gladly contibuting to) and views but then a comment like that and you have half the members(pun intended) jumping to go buy scotch!

Sorry forgot my manners(i'm scotch/irish and never had a use for manners anyway) but welcome from MD.
