Hello

Hi guys,

Thought I'd say hello to you all now that I've bought myself a new car.
Thanks to Bloodyniceben, I've gone and got myself a 1989 Trans-Am GTA. The mileage is a bit higher than I wanted and the bodywork isn't great. But as soon as the engine started up, I knew I had to have it.

Hi mate,

I'm the other side of the country, in Eastbourne, East Sussex.

The car is pretty much standard, apart from a B&M ratchet shifter and chip.

It'll do for a while, seeing as it's my first auto, left hand drive and rear wheel drive.

Oh and AllenGTA? After seeing Ben's photo, you may want to check how much rubber is left on those rear tyres LOL

oh, okay Ben, I'll shut up as usual

Make sure you've got plenty of wire and fuse holders for tomorrow, radio needs a new power supply when you've got a minute

And just remember, my engine is cleaner than yours

He didnt get the car from me, i bought my Camaro in January, since then Allen has been after a yank motor, and now he has.

Now he has got rid of the Knight Rider lights ( what is the point of them anyway, apart from making you look a fool? ) and given it a polish, it has come up nice and tidy.

Not a problem mate, I can wire in the radio at home anyway.

You go have fun with that chip, I know I am with mine, especially in that rain earlier!!
