                        Hi all!

                        First, I'v already asked a few question and let me tell you that I was more than pleases with everyone's kindness and enthusiasm to share their passion and knoledge.

                         

                        I'm a Mechanic for BMW and am into 1:1 car resto. I am 30 years old and havn't built a kit in about 17 years.

                         I just got back to this hobby, kinda by accident. Here's how.

                         

                        My girl friend bought me a 1971 Skyline GT-R Tamiya kit. She tought it would make me happy, cause I'm in the process of importing the "real" thing here in Canada. It did made me happy, but let's face it... The last thing I needed was an other expensive and time consuminghobby lol.

                         The thing is, getting this kit brung some good memories back to the surface and I just can't ignore them.

                         

                        Now that I'm a professional adult and a perfectionist on top of things, I want to do things the right way. THAT is what brings me here.

                         

                        Thanks for welcoming me and for sharing your knoledge.Thumbs Up [tup]

                         

                        Alex.

                         

                        P.S.: One more thing, I'm a french speaking Canadian and am always looking to perfect my english, so if you see wrongly used words or bad sentence structures or orthographe mistakes in my posts, please DO let me know, I wont be offended.
