Hi all, first post in our new forum! I'm Dave, the admin here and the site owner. I have always been a massive car fan since I was a kid, and have had various cars over the years. Been part of the classic car scene, owning and restoring my mk3 Ford Cortinas and old escort MK2, then moved into modified cars. Even my classics weren't standard though, as I always like a car to be different! Been into modified cars for almost as long as I was into classics, and have modded various cars from Vauxhall Nova (don't worry, no lairy body kits!) To Fiesta MK1 & MK2, Mk5 and mk6 Escorts, then got into Honda's! Started with a preface lift 1996 Civic 5 door MA8, then onto a 5 door Civic VTi MB6. Also got a civic Aerodeck which is subtly but fully modded. Recently decided to get into modern classics so also have a 1997 MK1 Mazda MX-5.
The reason for starting this forum was simple......I'm fed up of people whinging on about cars polluting everything and why we should all be on pushbikes or electric cars (milk floats)! Environmentalists and the government keep trying to capitalise on the poor car enthusiasts and motorists, and the threat that our hobby will be taken away from us is very real! I say to hell with the government! Nobody will stop me driving what I want, where I want or when I want to! Cars are my passion, my life. Just like they are for many people. Why should we give up our cars? Why should!d we accept getting ripped off by the government in the UK over our cars? We shouldn't put up with it, and that's why this site is here!! So we can stand together and fight for our cars!
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for saving the planet. It's just that I know for a fact that blaming the cars we all need and use for all the pollution meeting. There are far more polluting things in the world that they should've concentrating on. And the same government that slates our cars as polluters also pushes for more and more nuclear power stations to be built in the UK! A massive pollutant, and a very dangerous bomb that deffo is not the power of the future!
Anyways, rant over!! Lol Enjoy the forum and your car! Hope to see you around.
Dave
