hi peeps,
its finaly time for a proper introduction. Ive been arround for a while, mostly reading and keeping my eyes on the "for sale" section. The only issue ive got is the language barrier. Never got any proper education in the english language and learned it from the tele and my overseas friends from 21TOC. Dont shoot me when i'm writtin horrible grammatic mistakes
Made, born and kicking in Belgium, the land where the gouverment banned tuned and modified cars. You read that correct, its illegal to modify anything on our cars besides rims, inductions and exhaust systems. For inductions, exhausts and lowering whe need documents with CE-approval from the manufacturer. Most belgian people who modified there cars, like eurostyle for example, rebuild there car ones a year when whe need to go for MOT. The Belgian MOT is totaly diff. then the UK-version. Our MOT-stations are gouverment property wich means...no gifts from you're local garage of MOT-tester.
Back to me then,currently 38 years young (or old, as you prefer), married with Katrijn (Kate) and father off 2 great son's ( Geoffrey 13 and Thomas 14). My passion started many many moons ago. My parents always whent for renaults and my first car at 18 was the R5 gtt Ph1, 26.000 km from new. From that moment there was no holding back, renault was in my blood. After own several gtt's, 19-16v's, 9turbo, 25V6 and safrane the love tempered a bit and bought my first E30 M3 at age of 25. That would last for long, crashed it after 3 months and bought the E36 M3 ceccoto version, 525tds,730 V8, E36-320, Audi S6. ... ok, this getting realy boring ! From 2000 it was back into the renaults as daily's but also hobby-wise. I bought the 19 16v ph2 as weekend toy. In 2002 ive bought my first 21turbo and from that moment things go wrong, seriously wrong. I desided to start small club with some friends and mess arround/fix cars. Rented a barn, fitted a ramp and some other garage equipment and now whe talk about an out off control hobby. At this moment ive got 6x21t's, 2x19 16v, twingo mk1 2.0 turbo project, 3xgtt and yes...finaly a clio 16v !!
So far for the intro i guess ? In the past ive posted many pics in another topic in the newbie section (Maurice)
