I am one of few foreigners on this forum, living across the Atlantic from your point of view. Stockholm in Sweden is my town.

I started my motorinterest very young, remember buying my first Hot Rod magazine at ten. Went to study mechanical engineering because I could benefit from that when working on cars. Got interested in dragracing at 16 and started to build my first car at 18. It was going to be a ProStock, took about four years to complete mostly because of shortage in funds and raising the expectations over the time. When it was ready it had a potent 331 CSB, 4-speed Lenco, Strange Ford 9-inch and Strange McPherson struts, all state of the art stuff. That went on for a couple of years reaching it peak with a sponsorship from Toyota building a brandnew Celica Prostocker in 1983. We moved the stuff from the old car to the Celica but got two Pat Musi destroked CBB engines. During this time I ahd my own importing company selling stuff from Strange engineering and Weld Wheels among others. Look at my site for details on those racecars.

Then life changed for Jan, woman and kids. Hard to combine with racing so I decided to get a normal job and be a good father. The mother wasn't that good so I kicked her out a few years later and raised my son and doughter myself for 15 years.

When they got older I could start playing again and I bought my Camaro in August of 2000.

And for a living I now run my own company as an consultant in the graphic industry. Working with printshops and training them to print better. Doing seminars and so on. Its a good thing and I have a good time, a good woman but right now a shortage in time to spend on my Camaro.

Long story but I have had a great life so far and been through a lot of experiences. Enjoying the cameradship on this great site.

Interesting to know what people do.

Jan

Hello, my name is Jim and I have a problem. My wife says I'm obsessed with my 69 RS Camaro. Do I need a new wife? She and I, the 2 beautiful daughters and the RS live in Grayson, GA, outside of Atlanta. I'm a newbie and I'll post an intro with pictures as soon as I can figure out how to get the photos on the post!
