G'day from... Well not Australia

[Ceaser_Salad]

Hello!

Brand new to this forum! I have searched through a lot of the WIP and I really really enjoy looking at all the awesome and creative builds you guys do here! Hopefully I can add some of my own stuff onto here eventually (when my skills are ripe enough).

A little info about me: I recently owned a 1986 Dodge 600 (2.2l)

 

I am a younger guy, so I do not have the first hand experience with a lot of older cars that a lot of people here do. I do want to get into REAL mechanics sometime soon, and honestly modelling cars has really helped me understand engines more than I had before.

I actually started off doing aircraft models, but my focus now is Sci Fi and cars. (Big trekkie).

I used to live in Australia, I now reside in Canada.

I am excited to get to post some of my stuff, and even just get to know the group!

Thanks for reading,

Cheers,

Welcome from the East Coast of Canada, Declan!  ??

If I'm not mistaken, driving is on the right side of the road in Australia... It must be a bit of an adjustment at the beginning but fortunately, there are no rules to follow with scale models other than to follow the instructions...  ?

I appreciate that! Although, I have never much followed the instructions anyway... Driving is on the right side. I never got to the point of driving, as I moved when I was younger.

Welcome Declan!

If you really want to have fun, go to the US Virgin Islands!   American left hand drive cars driven on the right side of the road!

I got used to it on the ride from airport to hotel, but every so often when pulling out onto a road I’d still go for the wrong side.

The one thing that was scary was the roundabouts in town.. I made sure I always followed a local into those!

Oh boy... that does sound like an interesting experiment to try out.

Thanks for the welcome!

Hi from New Brunswick,  actual East Coast. 

Of corse, Nova Scotia, PEI and Newfoundland are more east, but at least we know Canada doesn't stop at the Quebec border. ??

Welcome from another west coaster Declan. Lots of great builds, and wonderful people here that are more than willing to share their knowledge and expertise. 
Cheers, Steve
