howdy everyone, so here goes, my name is chris but my friends call me mo and I've been around cars most of my life. my old man was a mechanic, taught me how to drive his 55 chev tow truck when i was 12, in 75 i was 15 and raced a 50 ford flattie on a 3/8 mile dirt track, i've had cars, trucks, bikes, boats, fords, chevs, dodges, if it has an engine and makes noise i like it. i got out of the car thing for a while, travelling, and whatnot, but my old man got sick and died a few years back, he was a good f 'n guy and my hero, you all would have liked him, strong and quiet, and loved cars, all cars. so i ended up with his last project, one he never finished, a 59 impala 2 dr, he bought it from the original owner in 77, i drove it once then, he pulled the front clip to do some repairs and it sat for 30 yrs, until this past August, when i got it runnin', so with a full tank and the first 30 miles in the past 30 years, i headed to oregon to see some pals, 75 mph and 18 mpg on the freeway, 10 days on the road, so about 2000 miles in the past few months. it's been a blast drivin that fat bugger even if it is 4 different colours, right now i don't care..........
