Blueprint Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Hi guys, Long time lurker and just registred. Like most people here I built models as a kid, got back at it during college when a roomate introduced me to the wonderful world of Tamiya, started building again by doing my very own 1986 Toyota Celica, built up a stash and then ... life. Wife, house, kids, big jobs, real cars. Kids now all have driving licences so I should be able to get back to building! If my hobby car, a 1975 Triumph TR6, gives me some free time of course. I have fun stuff to build, most bought some time ago and probably worth a lot today (like RoG's 1:16 Karmann-Ghia). I'm a civil engineer and a part-time automotive journalist. I review 20-25 cars per year for the Trader group up here in Canada. Most of my reviews are in French, but Google translate is there for you! I easily take 300-400 pics per car, so if my tests subjects make it to plastic, I'll be well equipped! A new car every Monday, it never gets old! (for me - not the wife ?). Here's a sample of what my wife calls my "hobby" : https://www.autohebdo.net/expert/20191226/chevrolet-camaro-turbo-1lt-2019-essai-routier/ Hoping to get back at building my cars this winter, we'll see!
Bills72sj Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Welcome. Your rejoining the hobby story is very similar to mine.
happy grumpy Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Welcome Daniel from a fellow citizen. Looking forward to see your work.
Blueprint Posted January 24, 2022 Author Posted January 24, 2022 Thanks guys! Already learned that I have to activate notifications when there are replies to my posts ? Just picked up a 2022 Camry SE Hybrid Nightshade for the "other hobby". You don't quite get the new car smell at -28°C ?
