ANOTHER new member

[Aushotrods]

Just a bit about me so you know who the hell I am when I post http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I am another Mexican(the australian kind) and have been into Hot rods all my life, all 15 and a half of 'em! I'm planning my first Hot rod project, a 28-29 Model a Roadster P/U, most likely with flathead power, 40's radius rods and whatever else I can find! My dad has been into hot rods since the 60's, and we currently have a 32 Hiboy roadster and a 56 Fairlane Victoria.
I have been building a website for the past year or so to expose Aussie hot rodding, which is http://www.geocities.com/aushotrods (yeah I know spam http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif)
looking forward to meeting you guys, Sean

[Aushotrods]

Thanks for the welcome guys.
Flatoz, where were you last tuesday night? The Cruise Night at Essendon Airport wasn't bad at all, good weather too http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Butt Reynolds, didn't mean to confuse you, Phil Stevens
flatoz and I are from down south

[lowsquire]

Welcome to you.
Essendon airport eh? how often is that on?
now theres a damn good location for a nostalgia drag meet!they dont fly from there anymore do they?
Just to clear it up, we're all from victoria, the southernmost mainland state, hence the south of the border/mexico reference....

[Aushotrods]

G'day lowsquire
Its on every second tuesday of the month, in the Car park near the terminals. IT would be a great nostalgia drag meeting place, but they still do run planes there, mostly private owned and smaller ones. I just made a page up of pics from the recent one at my website.

[Sam F.]

oh,ok i was just wondering how there were mexicans over there,,,seems like a long swim! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

anyways,welcome

Hey sean,

I didnt go anywhere, had to try and tear them apart from each other, it was making me sick http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Will be sorted out soon, bloody better be, or I wont be making it to the kustom nats.

hard to get enthused to do any work when its 120 F in my shed 47 c for the aussies

Geez.... you're never happy. A couple of weeks ago you were complaining about how cold it was in the shed. Bloody whinging Mexicans!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hey Sean. Good to see you hear. I hope you realise how lucky you are having a Dad that is a Hot Rodder (you too Flatoz). All I ever get from my old man is... "When you going to sell that heap?"

He has no idea.
