Hi again and welcome to the group. They're a really great bunch of guys here and a tremendous wealth of knowledge about the cars. As you probably already know, the boys from the other side of the pond refer to the z BMWs as zeds the way we call them bimmers. Took me a short while to get used to it. Also the terms: hood, bonnet, boot and windscreen and others, you'll understand if you follow the context in which they're used. They use a few colloquial expressions which are over my head but there is no question they won't answer. And someone in the forum usually knows the answer. I've only been a member a short time and they've made feel very comfortable. And they're all a lot of fun. They have a great sense of humor.
I've only been in Montana briefly. A friend of mine from Philadelphia got tired of living in the East and went to work on a ranch in Circle, Montana.. He later attended the University of Montana to learn horseshoeing. He later moved to Newcastle, Wyo. I used to pal around with him out there and we used to go on drunks into Custer (aaah, the Goldpan saloon) and Deadwood, (the No.10, Dakota Territory saloon, the Buffalo saloon) SD. You've probably been in the No.10 saloon in Deadwood where Wild Bill Hickok was shot. Used to go in there and play ragtime on the piano and tourists thought I worked there. Later, he used to work a huge excavator (shovel) for Arco's Thunder Basin Coal Mine.
Lately, there have been several new members join the forum from the US, mostly from the east coast, and one from Texas. We've been toying with the idea of having some particular name for the US contingent just as several areas of the UK have their own sections, such as from Scotland, East Anglia, etc.
So, its nice to have a new member, esp. from the US. I'm feeling less and less outnumbered. Let me know if I can help you with anything, Frankie
there are some really knowledgeable Zedders on here, always wiling to help, loads of Guys from 'over the pond', (as Frankie calls it). joined lately too!
