Hi All, recently got a 2010 America and even more recently joined this forum. Don't know if this is the right area to post an introduction, but here I am.
I live in Nottinghan in the UK, married with a 13 yr old son. Just wanted to say hi and to be prepared for lots of questions. Am a mechanical numpty, as far as i'm concerned you put petrol in at one end, magic happens and the back wheel turns. Can just about change the oil and filter and have been known to change brake pads and bleed the system, but have to lie down for a few hours after. Russ

Hi all,
Thanks for the welcome, will post some pics soon. In answer to MACMC, yes, Nottingham near Robin Hood's Forest, although in size wouldn't compare to the Forest's you have in the States. We still have a "Sheriff of Nottingham" though what he does I haven't a clue, if he works for the government no doubt he 'robs the poor to give to the rich'. As for Nottingham Castle .....well let's just say it looks nothing like it does in the movies.

Hello Russ, haven't been here much lately, its nice hearing members are going strong. I recently watched an Expedition Unknown on Robin, Josh Gates was touring the caves under Nottingham as possible escape routes from the Sheriff. Welcome, and enjoy the Trumpet.
