Default Hello from an OF

I am an old fart (50 something) who loves cars. Especially cars that we used to call "sleepers". I havent heard the term for a while, is it still used?So a year ago I purchased a "sleeper".... of sorts.
A sleeper is a car that is clean & tidy, doesn't look obvious or stand out to the average punter but catches the eye of those who appreciate "nice" cars.
Bought from a friend of a friend, and a genuine one owner, my MY01, the one pictured up top, is a little quicker than the Datsun 1600 "sleeper" I owned in the 70's (thats 1970's not 1870's).
My other interest is ECM on the highway.(the gadgets and gizzmos that make driving a more safer and enjoyable experience.) I subscribe to another forum dedicated to such gadgets, using the same as I do here.
I look forward to contributing/participating in this forum, have been meaning to join for a few months now.
