Judging by your fleet you're almost overqualified to hang out here!
Joking apart,i'm sure you'll be more than welcome by all.
I'm also quite sure your experience in the machine shop will come in handy for some,assuming you want to share your pearls of wisdom?
See you around the forums.
Jock.

I'd like to have one of those myself!!
I'm sure you will be able to help guys in the forums. Perhaps especially in the Engine forum. Since this is the Welcome Centre "Welcome to the Stovebolt".
