New guy from Seattle

[triumphkeeper]

Hi All, great site! I have only one question, where are the women garage and car owners? I wrenched British roadsters for 37 years and know they exist. Would love to see what they do with their garages. Just remodeled my carport into a garage hope to post pics soon.

Welcome, you'll like it here. Grew up in Seattle, what part of town are you in?

Welcome!!! Remember..... Pics!! We all love pictures!! There are never enough!!

Welcome! Looking forward to pictures in your thread. As for the women of GJ, think they are out there and are for the most part, more conservative than the men of GJ. I have a very close friend that can drive the cars as well as I do. She is welcome to drive any of my cars, any day of the week. Fact is, she has been my wife's best friend for well over 50 years. Besides being a great friend, there is no job she won't at least try. Have to love that! PM me and we can talk.

Here they are; our good friend is driving the '62 Vette while my wife enjoys the ride:

Ody.

Hi Warren, sorry to be so slow on reply, retired and got buried by wife's "to do" list. I live in the south end of Seattle, White Center to be exact. Sort of the opposite of Bellvue, no Micro softies here!

Hi triumphkeeper, and welcome to the GJ! White Center is an interesting area of Seattle, I think of it as the 'Blue Collar Bedroom Community of the Duwamish Basin'. lol Tell me, is the British Auto Wrecking (title?) still operating near the West Seattle Bridge? I bought more than a few parts there for my GT6 (and I need to buy more).

I'll take a guess that your avatar pic was taken at a A.B.F.M. event at the Bellevue C.C. campus; yes?

I was far north, Ballard and Shoreline areas.

Hi triumphkeeper,
I hear you regarding the women car owners...my wife is a British car fan and keeps me busy in the shop on her little car.
She is also not afraid to wrench on her own car. The best sand blaster in the land.

Her is a pic of her working on her car.
