Hello People :D

#1

Post by JayDKirk »

Hey there people I recently purchased a Hyundai coupe gen 3 and out of all my cars its by far my favourite but it did have companion with my fiat stilo for a while till it really started to grow on me,
And well its my 5th car and reliability so far seems bullet proof! Bar when I 1st got it the dealer fails to mention the oil leak from the rocker gasket, as I liked the car so much I decided I'd fix it myself so I did and no problems since...

Right well abit about myself...
My names Jay (so hello everyone)
I'm 20 years old
Live in north walsham, Norfolk I used to live in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire,
Erm my job well I'm an apprentice gunsmith & retail & General Picker and packer all for one job
My hobby's are pretty much nothing but my car but unfortunately due to my age sh*t wages, so not much to spend on my car as I have other bills such as rent, council tax, eletric, ect... So my car won't get many mods very often which is a shame, all the mods I do I like to do myself (not much knowledge on cars but I learn on the way) only mod I've currently done on my coupe is a cone air filter with cold air feed not really a mod but its a start and I have a big imagination but unfortunately a low budget, apart from that I watch tv general soaps and work about it lol
I live with my partner we are independent, not sponsored by mummy and daddy :) (wish I was lol)

What else can I add?....
My girlfriend hates me loving cars so much, but oh well I love cars!
If I ever win the lotto ill spend infinity amounts on my car!

Apart from that hello everyone! :D

Also I painted my stilo myself so might consider doing my coupe as well :) my 1st time ever pairing and tbh it looked really good at the end :) I will upload photos at a later date :) or later today :) anyone wants to ask me anything feel free :)

Hi jay welcome to the club, nice for someone to put such a detailed hello message, loving the apprentice gumsmith!!!!

Don't worry you Mrs will come round mine still thinks im a "Car geek" but she has started getting involved with my mods and the club meets etc, bring her along to a meet I'm sure she will come around a bit after she see's how nice and welcoming the people of this club are and how much fun the meets are.
