Hello Taco

Welcome to the forum. There is some other SAcans here as well. Are you from the Cape area?

There is LOTS of very useful info to be had here and the friendly folks makes it fun.

Show us some pics of the cars you mentioned.

Nigel, I am sure the forum members would like to see the cars. Why don't you start a thread and post the pics you have.

I am from Stellenbosch area but I think Manny is from your neck of the woods. He has a Alfa Redline project going and doing all sorts of fun stuff for TV commercials.

Hi and welcome Taco!!

Manny will definitely be good to chat to. There are a few other guys up your way who aren't all on here.
I'm in Stellenbosch too, and if you are ever down this way, look me up and come visit my shop.
