An introduction from Oxford.

[Billy 4.2]

Hello all. I'm Billy from Oxford, the very happy owner of a 2003 4.2 Spyder. I've had it for a year now and the original plan was to sell it at this point, but that's not going to happen... I like it too much. I admit I've had to have some repairs done which were a bit costly, but on balance, it has been well worth it. I met a long time member of this forum at the Prescott speed hill climb today (I'm afraid I don't remember his name!) and he explained the forum to me, so here I am.

Hello all. I'm Billy from Oxford, the very happy owner of a '83 4.2 Spyder. I've had it for a year now and the original plan was to sell it at this point, but that's not going to happen...

Hi Billy, great looking car! Now you’ve found the forum, hope you stick around... it’s a fun place and full of people with loads of experience of the marque, who are always happy to share it.

Hi Billy, welcome.
Surely that's a 2003 car not '83?

 

[hashluck]

Welcome. Also near Oxford here. You will find lots of help and good banter.

Welcome Billy

If the guy you met was in a Gransport it may have been Safrane (aka Peter).

Hello, Billy, a very warm welcome. I’m glad you stumbled upon this motley assortment of people (and cars) eventually.

Welcome Billy, glad you found the site and enjoyed your burger at Prescott.

Yes it was I... although it has been some years since I was described as 'motley' FC!

Hope to see you at another event in the future.

Just doing my bit to help you stay feeling young, Peter.

Yes welcome - and your car does look lovely, especially with roof down.

Welcome Billy,

This forum has the best bunch of friendly funny folks. I’ve been out of it for a few years and my 4200 in storage. But like you i planned on keeping it a couple of years and moving it on, but I can’t let go and have had it 10 years. This April it was put back on the road and I have a smile on my face when driving.
