I have been "lurking" for some time now, so I guess that it is time for an introduction. I have a Fiberfab Speedster replica that I do really enjoy. I live in Berkeley Springs, WV, with my husband, Nick --who is actually the "car guy" In addition to my replica, he has a 356 and an Austin Healey. Right now he is working on replacing the clutch cable on the replica. (thanks to this list, I ordered one from VS) I am enjoying reading about the cars and looking forward to meeting some of you.

Let me be the first to give the traditional "Welcome to the Madness" greeting. Nice collection of cars. Got any pictures?

of yourself

Nice shot Vince.... What a welcome!

I just became a donating member so I have faster access to vince's comments. It doesn't get any better. Unless there was a bikini shot posted with it. I'm waiting...

Welcome to the group, you and your husband will not be bored :)
BTW you are an hour down the road from here in Chambersburg and a few other owners are nearly as close.

Nick / Nancy -

Welcome to the Madness!

If you've been lurking on this site for a while, then you pretty much know the players. Bwaaaaa Haaaaaa Haaaaa!!!! :-)

Sounds like once you get the bugs worked out, you two will have a lot of fun driving your Speedy through the countryside. It will be especially fun if you hook up wth some of the East Coast SOC'ers that are relatively close to your location. They are a great bunch of folks - no matter what you read on here. Bwaaaaa Haaaaa Haaaaa.

Taken with a grain of salt - it would be hard to beat the entertainment/information value of this website.

Peace - Out!

Hey Jim....Put some salt grains on this...

Thank you all for the warm welcome. Did I forget to mention that I am a retired teacher?? Vince --go sit in the corner!! LOL
Of course we have pictures of the cars!! I will check out the photo section and see how difficult it would be to post.
Nancy

First pic attempt: Nick's 356 coupe

I was so successful posting the other picture that I am trying again. Here is a pic of the Speedster-- Nick driving our daughter riding.

Nancy,

Love your attitude and your cars, welcome to you and Nick from another Newbie.

Dave

Sweeeeet!!! You need to join us for some of the events we have on the east coast. You just missed the Carlisle, PA gathering, but we have another one schedule for the Smokey Mountains in October. C'mon!!!

Nick and Nancy, welcome to the madness. I realize that it's a long way off now, but please consider making the Carlisle, PA. gathering a "must do" item on your next year's calendar; It falls on the weekend before Memorial day each year. Being from WV, it will be a relatively short fun run for you and an experience that you won't forget.
Hoss

Can I come out of the corner now?

Vince most of us are STILL waiting for you to come out!

Speedster "D" Nothing but love here...

P.S. oh yeah, welcome Nick and Nancy.. SEG Baby!

Yes, Vince--if you think that you have learned your lesson. LOL
I must confess that Nick and I did come to Carlisle this year on Saturday, but we just looked and did not introduce ourselves. So sorry now.
Nancy

did you just ask if you could come out of the closet?

So, is Nancy angela's doppleganger, east coast variation? What a hoot that would be. [I know, I know, there is really only ONE angela, so don't let's hear an uproar about that, OK?] Welcome to the madness. WV offers enormous potential for country road cruising, as you would surely know, and I hope maybe we can arrange something to take advantage of your "insider's" knowledge. Any time would be great -- except the dead of winter, of course -- but I bet the Fall is especially nice. We'll need to make some plans, if such would be cool for you guys.

PS: Wonderful pix of your wonderful cars. I had a '61 S-90 Coupe once, and wish I still had it.

Well Nancy, there is a better than good chance that I will need to be put in the corner, probably on more than one occasion....
Being a retired school teacher, I imagine you remember the old days when swats were given on a regular basis...God knows I do....
I will surely need a good spanking before to long....
Stick around we could have some fun....
Check out my pic's, there are a few just for the SOC gals....

You know, Nancy, it sounds to me that Vince WANTS a spanking.

We would love to try to help put together a road trip or a weekend. We chose Berkeley Springs for our retirement because of all that it has to offer--and because of its easy access to major eastern interstates. We have spas, inns, antiques, art, fishing, golf, and great food--all in a rural setting.

We would welcome anyone who wanted to just come visit. Love to share the cars with folks who also like them. Be prepared for the dogs though. In addition to being passionate about our cars, we LOVE our 3 Mastiffs. Our youngest boy, Dickens, is working on completing his AKC Championship.

Vince, for you --a picture of me with Dickens.

Nancy

Thank you Nancy...those are my favorite breed.....
Now I can put a face with the name....
Welcome aboard....

Hey Vince, I remember getting out of the boys locker room late and having the choice of a swat, a wooden paddle tennis racquet or a baseball bat that was flattened on 2 sides. That was in gardena. How about coffee at Peet's?

Oscar, I graduated from Gardena High....but my best recollection for getting my a$$ beat was at Peary Jr High......a MR Shoe...
Big asian dude like the one in that early James Bond flick....

...that James Bond character would be 'Odd Job'.

You encountered his cousin, Random Task!

Bwaaaa Haaaaaa Haaaaaa - I crack myself up!

Pineapple headed humorists........

Nancy,

I have been to Berkeley Springs several times over the years, and would love to arrange another visit some time soon. Have sampled the waters, the food, the spas and the B&Bs -- all excellent! I'll ponder the schedules for coming months and let you know. My right-seater is also a dog lover, although she tends towards beasts somewhat smaller than the mastiffs.

Great!! Plan a visit and let us know. I looked up Highland on the map and it is not too far. We have shown often at W Friendship (Howard Co Fairgrounds) Might be there 4th of July weekend.
Nancy

Hey Jim....I got your cousin right here....

Nancy, great pic with your buddy! Has he had his first Speedster ride yet? I bet he can make the biggest SEG ever! Welcome to the group.

...heeeyyyy, that was MY line!

Oh well, cousin THIS!!

Do any of you guys have Fiberfabs? Nick is having a devil of a time with the clutch cable--any suggestions?
Nancy

Welcome Nancy and I love the Mastiff.

Nancy - Nick email me direct and I'll reply with my phone in Chambersburg PA the cable is usualy an easy fix
