[kiwimazda]

Well here goes.
Real Name is Brian Stevens and I was born in Wellington, New Zealand. I have had that name all my life since 1968.
I was quite transient in my early years and went through jobs like they were toilet paper.
That was untill I discovered Tunnel Digging and explosives.
Four 5 years I blew stuff up. Excellent.
During this time I met my wife ( julia ) while she was travelling around New Zealand.
She told me she owned a house here so I thought she will do.
That was 9 years ago. I would have been out if it was assault.
I now build mobile phone ariels to polute the landscape
We have a two year old daughter called Hannah and she loves daddies rally car.
Also a 3 year old racing whippet. He like chasing things and trying to shag my arm.
When I got into motorsport many moons ago much to the dismay of my parents I hated wizz bag rotary engins but over the years I have learnt that if you cant beat them join them.
The first Rx was purchsed of a guy from NZ who was living over here.
Unfortunatly that car has now gone to the scrapyard in the sky.
The rust particals finaly gave up holding hands and it basicly fell apart.
The new one has been described elsewhere.
Pet hates are middle laners. Boys who cant hold their booze. And little tossers who think that now they have a drivers licence they are indestructable. You know the ones. We peel them up off the highway.

Hi guys,

I thought I better take the plunge and make my first post â€" so here is as good a place to start as any!  

My name is Ann, I’m 36 years old, single, no kids and I live in Baldock, Hertfordshire â€" god I sound like I’m writing a lonely hearts advert. lol  I work in the City as a Compliance Officer for a bank (honestly it’s not as boring as it sounds!)

I’ve been a Mazda owner for over 10 years and in March 2005 I took delivery of my Strato RX-8. I absolutely love it and I have been a very active member of the RX-8 Owners Club organising several meets â€" check out my website for loads of photos: //www.annhowlett.com

I also regularly attend the monthly Dartford meets and have chatted with Clive. I joined the MRC a couple of months ago and as I’m going to the Christmas dinner next weekend I thought I better introduce myself â€" please say hello if you see me.

I love getting out and about in my car and meeting fellow enthusiasts â€" I look forward to going to lots of events in 2006 (and I’m sure I’ll be organising a few  :chat  ).

Ann.

Hi people,
