I guess that not every one will be pleased to see me here but at least some will. GOF is a sobriquet already used by members of my family to identify me, so it seemed churlish not to join.
Background as a CEng MIETE (previously MIEE, who must turn in their grave at the thought of plumbers being allowed into Savoy Place) - electronics once upon a time, when it was easy to understand and build but latterly commercially oriented.
Spend a large portion of the year in S of France - with sweat currently dripping into the keyboard at 35 deg C.
Current fleet Berlingo XTR ETG6 diesel, Fiat Panda, C3 Picasso, TR7 conv - still needs minor work but never welded!
History includes many Morris Minors (starting from an MM, including a home brew 1.5 l BMC B engined beast) and the most interesting a Hillman Imp heavily modified which had been a sucessful competitor in sprint meetings under previous ownership. Biggest regret not hanging on to many of the cars I had once owned.
