G'day from a lurker

I've been visiting this forum for quite a while now, and I figured that I should introduce myself.

My name's Robert and...I don't have a thunderbird...or cougar...or even a Fox body.  What I drive is a '96 Crown Vic P71.  If you are interested, I have the info on it on My Cardomain Page.  The page needs updating, but the mods list is pretty much current.

So, what brings me to this forum?  If you must know...I'm a sucker for 80's Fords (particularly Foxes), and I like to see what you guys do with them.  In other words, I'm a forum tourist who likes the pretty pictures, lol! :hick:

Hope you guys don't mind me putting in my :2c: every so often. :D

And I just noticed that I posted in the wrong forum...if a mod could move this into the lounge, it would be much appreciated.

Wow you have an awful lot of work in that thing. And what's your problem with blue interiors? :beatyoass: j/k

Welcome, Robert. Nice Vic.
 
If you've been lurking you already knew to bring chips, right? Let's have 'em.

Welcome!  This is a great place to hang.  Everybody seems very nice and helpful.  I have been on other boards (extremeskins.com) that every user tried to find every negative and pound you for it.

Look forward to seeing you around.

Thanks for the welcome guys!  I have enjoyed looking at the projects that have been posted here (daminc- your project Evolution is Awesome!!!), and though I don't have a fox, I can appreciate the work that it takes to work with an older car.  As you can tell by what my car has needed, lol.

And Meyhem- I didn't bring chips, but I gots popcorn! :popcorn:
