Hi all, another Australian here :)

Post by PhilthyF100 »

Hello all, I dropped in to ask a couple of quick questions, and got such a warm welcome I thought I might just hang around for a bit hehe..
My name's phil, as the thread title suggests, I'm in South Australia.
(although I'm originally from New Zealand :D ) I'm 32yo, married, no kids, and my life pretty much revolves around my wife, my cars, my friends, and my friends cars! I work as a service tech, servicing a fleet of trucks for a garbage company (hey, someones gotta do it haha).
I own a 76 4x2 longbed F100, that's about to get some major surgery. I know this forum is all about the bumps, but from what i've read so far you're a very helpful bunch, as opposed to a few other forums around the www. Plus alot of info on the bumps comes in handy with my truck :)

I also own a 1973 Falcon hardtop, thats my baby :) runs a 383 stroker cleveland.
My wife's daily is a 1976 Fairmont GXL sedan, with a 351c and toploader, not bad for a girls car haha..
The 'shopping trolley' is a 1983 Fairmont 6cyl, pretty boring really..

Anyway, I look forward to getting to know you all through the threads :)
Cheers,
Phil.
