Hi,
my name is Patrick, I'm 20yo and i live in Austria.
My interest for Classic Cars, or we in german say "Oldtimer", started when i was 6yo and i saw the first time, some of my Uncles car:
Austin-Healey 100, Austin-Healey 3000 MKII,...
However, i always wanted to own a classic car.
To my 18th Birthday, my parents giving me an Austin Allegro 1500 Super Automatic in harvest gold.
2 year and different parceld from all over the world later, i drove the first time with my allegro.
I will present you my car in the Topic "Member Motors" closer, but one thing i can say: I am Second-Owner. Wink

However, I am proud to be a member and glad to meet you all!

Pat

Hi Graham,

of course i will post some photos... Wink

No not yet, but in summer there are some Rallys and other Events for Classic Cars, and then it will be the first time that i join.

When my Allegro is in top share i want to drive to a meeting in the UK. It mabye take some days but it would be a nice journey. Smile

I live in a small village in Upper Austria, there are about 155 miles to reach Vienna, so unfortunately no.

Best wishes,

Pat

Hi Graham!

Thank you very much for your invitation but I'm sorry to say that I have to work at this date :/

Yeaterday i planed a 4 days tour to Dover:
My trip would start in Austria, goes trough South-Germany, further to Luxemburg, across Belgium, then a small part France till i arive Calais where i can get by ship to Dover.
So I can visit some differnet towns and get unique landscape to see.

That would be (will be?) nice!

Greetings
Patrick
