Hello from across the Pond

[Deleted]

Hi All, greetings from the UK.
Discovered this site by accident whilst browsing through the Indycals links. Think I've read every posting on it and I'm amazed at what a wealth of knowledge there is out there. Great forum!
Been a fan of motor racing since the age of about 12 when I read an article by Denis Jenkinson on Moss' Mille Miglia drive and I was hooked.
Indy cars have always had an appeal, there's been some great lookng cars over the years, but sadly there's no great interest in this country and info (pre internet) ain't easily come by.
I've got several kits on the go, including an Etzel Miller, couple of 1/43s by SMTS, a Blue Crown Special, and a Miller and Tameo Lolas T93 and T88. There's also a couple of AMT kits in my stash somewhere. I've avoided alot of SMTS's stuff because of the decals, but that may change now I've seen Indycals products!
What I've seen on this site so far has been really inspiring and I'm itching to get back into some of my unfinished stuff!
Best regards
Dave

Another hello from the glorious South. Slidinsideways and I are possibly the only two Indy racing fans in NASCARland!

Welcome Dave - notice collection it sounds like you have there! Me, I was born in the UK until my family moved back to the states when I was 2. Lived in Texas since I was 6 so welcome from the great southwest US ;D

Thanks guys.
Already been digging around and "found" my Tameo Lola-Judd T88. Pleasantly surprised by how far I'd got with it. It's Bobby Rahal's Budweiser car No.1.
At first couldn't remember why I'd stopped building it, but after checking the ref pics that Tameo supply, some of the problems came back to me.
I've put a post in the '88 Cart/Champ section in the hope that at least some of problems might be solved.
Fingers are already crossed ;D.
