New guy from Pa

Hello, i'm Nick Kern and i'm 18 and love to detail cars. My dad was always into washing and detailing his cars, he would usually take hours on a Saturday or Sunday washing and detailing something. I grew up watching and sometimes helping. I also grew up around sports cars, as we have a Bugeye Sprite so I have a love for old and new sports cars but still prefer the classic Ferrari's, Porsche's, Aston Martin's, Jaguar's so on. I am probably the only 18 year old your going to talk to that is REALLY into and knows about and loves the vintage sports cars and racing. I'm a certain type of person that's for sure, i'm just wierd, I have a certain group that's with me, the Grassroots Motorsports group of people! I found this and thought I'd join, from the little that I looked I think i'll like it, definetly knowledge here.
I plan on starting my own little business, so i'll need some input and help for business cards and a name.

For hobbies my dad and I are also into model cars and occasionally slot cars. I like racing games, BMX, rally, hillclimbs, rallycross, ALMS, F1, FIA GT, BTCC, really any of that nature.

Nice! That's awsome! I'll have to start ordering supplies. Since I got to Autobod VoTechm, I can get 50% off tools at Snap On, Craftsman..

It's nice to see that young ones like my self are wanting to do this.

Akoz, that's pretty cool, it would be cool if we could meet but I hope to learn, I like to learn about things i'm interested in.

We should try and organize some kind of tutorial meet up with us and some of the older, experienced pros in PA.

Not too sure where New Holland is, but Bethlehem/Allentown is only about 45 mins north of Philly. BTW I'm in Bloomsburg for school right now.

Welcome! I'm 16 and I'm in Dallas up by Wilkes Barre and Scranton

Nick F40 · 04-16-09, 05:17

I actually love that idea, I think we should, that would be a great experience, both young and not that old

New Holland is just out side of Lancaster, about 4-5 miles away from Leola. I know where Bloomsburg and Allentown is, a decent drive for me. I never even knew we hada Dallas!

You north from me a good bit but not too far.

Thanks and I know I will. I know abouts where you are, not too far away from me. I LOVE your name, under your avatar, I use Godspeed for most of my stuff, on VW Vortex i'm Godspeed F40, and I'm maybe thinking to name my business Godspeed Detailing, I know if I have a racing team, it'll be Godspeed, maybe.

Maybe we can get together sometime.
