Hello MArk! Great to have you here and thanks for all the pictures too!!

Sounds like some neat projects as well. Can't wait for a "build thread" maybe?!?!?! LOL...

Again, good to see you here.

Hi Mark! Ditto the welcome to CHR, and the thanks for the pictures. You've got a very nice collection there, with something for every taste! I'm Pontiac Green with envy Looking forward to your build threads on the ones in the works.

Welcome to CHR, good having you join us! Great looking fleet you have there!

Mark Welcome to CHR you know how to enter a site "PICTURES" yeah

Gidday to my fellow Maverick Sharpmark!
Welcome to CHR; good to see you here.
There are a lot of knowledgeable people here...I'm picking you'll enjoy the site and fit right in.

Hi and welcome from another NZer. I too am just a little envious of your fleet too especially the A Pickup in the back ground. Little story for you, My grand father who had a small farm at Tirau had a Model A pickup parked beside the cow shed that disappeared while I was still too young to demand that it would be mine, LOL, anyway the last time I saw that pickup was in the industrial area of State Highway One in Putaruru. It still fustrates me today that somebody else got my toy. I always look at Model A's and wonder if it could of been the one I played in so many years ago.
Anyway, welcome here and, yes , a great bunch of friendly people. Oh I have an awesome photo of the Oldz to that I took at the Beach Hop a while back when it rained and the water was all beaded up on the shiny paint, it is an awesome car.
You wouldn't be Mark the panelbeater who worked for the GM Dealer on Old Taupo Road ?

thanks everyone for the welcome
whip- i'm not or have ever been a panelbeater.i was a dairyfarmer with a farm in galatea for 20 yrs and sold up 4yrs ago.i'm now a jackofalltrades working for evergreen landcare, an outfit that does hydro-seeding/strawmulching/erosion control/landscaping in the north and south island.i started out as a driver but now mostly work in the workshop repairing breakages and keeping all their trucks on the road.

Welcome. Nice bunch of cars you have.

Good Day, Mark! Thought you had posted another entry, but it seems to have gone away. Welcome to the madness!!

Thanks RSpears!
