Introducing new member
Hello,
I have been lurking off to the side for a while now but now that I have returned from the one year vacation that my Uncle Sam sent me on I think I can start contributing. Hopefully I will be able to provide something other than comic relief, but if not, then I guess that 's just the way the ball bounces... I bought my car a little over a year ago but almost immediately left and am only now able to start learning and enjoying my "new" car. I just wanted to say thanks for the site and, for what it's worth, give it my thumbs up. As I am in the learning phase I would like to know what references besides Wayne's book y'all have found most useful. BTW, thanks for signing the book Wayne. That is a nice touch. I am trying to upload a picture of my car, but sometimes the technical stuff escapes me for a while. At least I can conduct an infantry raid like no-one else. Anyhow, great site and keep it up. James

Beautiful car, thanks for the nice pictures.
I have Wayne's book, the factory manuals, and a Bentley manual. I use Wayne's and the Bentley's the most, since they're in the garage. I keep the $$$ factory manuals in the house. Here's the Bentley's:

Welcome & thanks for serving. I once had a lady comment to me that black cars with tinted windows were sexy. I think your car fits that description.
