Hey all

Just found the site,:lol: had a little look through and I think I will be spending a fair bit of time on this site (if you dont mind)

Why I like T's
It all started when I used to travel by Bus to High school , we used to pass a garage on the way there every morning (my face pressed against the window), there was a T-Bucket sat outside a car dealership(not many in Scotland at that time late 70's)

Funny how things turn out, my brother owned the car for 6 months or so in the 80's and I had the fun of driveing it, unfortunatly when he sold it I had no cash,:eek: then the car vanished.
20+ years later I find the same T (or lots of parts of the same T) at a small garage and buy it. the T was featured in Nov 79 UK Custom car mag, it was used as a Daily driver fo 12 years no matter what the weather by the origional builder!! (brave man but it was his only car)

I have been collecting parts for the last 6 years or so, now that the Kids have grown up its time to get the T back on the road.

sorry for the poor pic but it was a scan of an old phote, this shows the car as it was.

Now just how cool is it to find and buy the very same car that grabbed your attention as a young kid... this is just a great story and I'm sure the car couldn't be in better hands... :thumbsup:

Oh yea... almost forgot!
