. . . . . also known as "the good land" if your familiar with the Algonquin Tribe and oddly enough the "Wayne's World" cinematic production - thanks to Alice Cooper. Anyway, I have honestly grown up being surrounded by British automobiles - namely, Austin built Metropolitans in both 1200 and 1500cc's of motivation. I do recall travelling to Hershey, PA in the '80's in the "back" of a Met to attend what was most likely a National Nash Motors meet with my parents. I know what the humming of a differential sounds like, trust me . . . . . . many trips to Kenosha Wi. as well for the regional meets with all the Ramblers, AMC's and such - good times, I assure you!

Fast forward to 2015 and my Father has gifted me with the '61 hardtop Met and then helped me tow home my '76 TR7 Victory Edition (FHC) and has just laid eyes on my '75 Spitfire drophead coupe. I'm glad to be here as part of the British car community to gain insight and hopefully contribute to it as well.

Welcome to BCF, from a former South Milwaukee guy.

You've got some interesting cars - be sure to post some photos here. Now's that Metropolitan these days? When I was a young'n, my parents had an early 1950s Nash Rambler wagon. I remember how the gearshift lever came out of the dash, and not the steering column. Dad always said Nash (and later AMC) made better cars than any other USA car company.

Long live the Met!

Welcome to the world of LBC's best on-line forum. Nice folk and smart too.
 
Welcome to the forum! I'm just up the road a bit (ok a couple of hours) near Appleton. If you haven't already, make plans to be in Sussex for British Car Field Day on June 21... I'll be there with one of over 200 British gems. Lots of fun and lots to see. Also, I've always had a soft spot (being from Wisconsin) for Nash/AMC cars... and my wife has her heart set on a Metro convertible. Not too many of those left, but we can always hope, right?
