Hello all, again nice site and a nice forum to boot. Unfortunatly I'm not from Ireland so am kind of trespassing here (hoping trespassers are not shot on site!).

I am 25 ATM and work as an electronic technician as well as doing all things computer in my free time. I live in central England... Yes, by Birmingham AND Dudley (alright mate 'ows it gowin!).

I am currently looking to buy my first FTO being either a GR or GXP, the only real limits I have are that it must not be red/burgendy and it MUST be a manual (sorry all the Tip people but I luv my clutch, it gives my left foot purpose!). When I eventually get one I will be electronicalizing it (random new word there!) first two jobs folding mirrors (seen on some fto site out there) and total closure (as in windows on the full up/down mode thingy!) upon locking the central locking with the ignition off.

Regards/Thanks

Timmo.

P.S. As you may have noticed/will notice I do have a habit of over using brackets and explanation marks when ever I type... (I think!)

Hi timmo

Welcome Timmo, it doesn't matter where you're from on this site, all that matters is that you have an interest in FTOs!
