Hi, well what a find. There is so much info on this forum.

A bit about me, I'm in my mid thirties, and have been a petrol head pretty much since I was born. I have always been a massive fan of both Jags and MX-5's. Currently I my fleet is comprised of the following:

1963 Mk II (3.4 auto)
1999 XKR Convertible
2001 M5
1989 MX5
2003 Nissan Elgrand (I do have 2 kids, give me a break!)

I do churn the fleet pretty often but the XK and MX5 are here to stay. The XK was my dads and it was the car I used to borrow when dating my wife so I am in no hurry to say good bye to her and the MX5 has been decorated as Lightning McQueen which I did as a project when my son was smaller so that is also going nowhere! The Mk II is a new purchase for me and I have just started the restore (although the condition when I bought her was pretty good) so basiccaly I am going to take it slow. At some point I will need to find someone to redo the seats and door cards..

Anyway, thats me.

Oh - why TokyoRich, well Rich is my name and I lived in Japan for 8 years and tend to bore people with stories of Japan so thats how you will remember me....
