Ambrose,

Welcome to the Forum. Lots of friendly members here, who have helped me alot on some of my DIY jobs on the car. Don't be afraid to ask for advice - it's all freely given, and there's no such thing as a stupid question - it took me a while to figure out the hand/emergency/parking brake on the Jag!

welcome and congratulations. If you are ever in the city and need some assistance, look me up.

Hint, some great roads to warm up. Old 17K by the water gap, Ashokan and Pepacton Reservoirs (especially in the fall), going up the Northern side of Bear Mountain.

Enjoy.

Ambrose,

Is that you? or Is it a photo of Clint Eastwood? I think I'll call you Clint from now on!
