Hello from rainy Aberdeen!

Post by Bundy »

Hey folks, as i said in another thread, I've been reading these forums for a long while now (mostly when fixing my parents 406) and have always been impressed with how friendly and sociable this forum is, it makes a refreshing change.

Then after the sad death of my Golf, i decided to take my trusty old 406 out of retirement (well, out of the garage) so thought i would sign up and say hello properly. I've owned my 406 for about 6 years now, but it's been in the garage for almost 3 years while i had a quarter life crisis after splitting up with the Mrs and bought a very low, very loud and very black Golf Gti. Then after 3 years of deafening myself and having my spine hammered silly (I'm sure i used to be taller) I decided i couldn't be bothered putting the golf through another MoT and decided to put the smoke machine back on the road. Glad i did now, it's so nice to be driving something quiet and comfortable again.

Anywho, Hello and i hope i can help out around here in some way, just like you guys have helped me over the last few months.

lol, i wish i had an extra bhp for every time i've been asked that, lol.

It's just a nickname that's a shortened version of another nickname, sorta.

I do share a few behavioural habbits with Al though but some would say the same with Ted when i get p*ssed off with something though. Meh.
