Just saying hi

[Gramps]

New to this forum so forgive me if I do something wrong. Just want to be polite and say hello and tell you a bit about myself. We (wife and I) own a 2004 Yaris Diesel which has now done around 160k miles and runs absolutely brilliantly. We've owned it for around 5 years now and had hardly any trouble with it. It was an ex driving school car so we took a massive gamble. Our other car is a 2005 1.0 petrol with around 90k on the clock. Bought a couple of weeks ago from a good friend on another forum ( www.club80-90.co.uk ). VW T25 camper vans etc. Nice little car but the diesel is much smoother (apart from suspension). This one is the colour edition in black.
I am semi retired now and work for a charity for the elderly and need a reliable car for work so the Yaris is ideal. I used to be a motor mechanic in the 70's/80's (I'm 61 now) so I worked in the pre electronic trickery days:rolleyes: My next job on the Diesel job is to find out wh the electrical adjuster isn't working on the passenger side (RHD) so I think I'm going to have fun:frown:My son owns a garage so any tricky repairs I get him to do!
Oh, I'm from York, UK by the way. Anyway, Hello and thanks for letting me on the forum.:thumbsup:

York Peppermint Patties are based off York, Pennsylvania not York, England just an fyi haha

But on a serious note, welcome to the forum Gramps. A lot of users on this forum and myself included will be quite envious of your diesel Yaris.

Hi Gramps, :smile:

I hope you enjoy your visits here. You have the distinct advantage of owning vehicles which are nonexistent here, and I'd truly enjoy seeing them. :thumbsup:

Hi Gramps. I'm also glad that the people here are welcoming as I am from the Manila and people help me as much as they can with their ideas.

On another note, good thing you even bothered to join a forum, as my Dad just turned 61 too and all he does is torrents, torrents and torrents. LOL

Nice to get to know you.
