  • Hello, new young guy!

    Hello, i'm Nick Kern and i'm 18 and love toMy dad was always into washing and detailing his cars, he would usually take hours on a Staurday 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 ones, like 275GTBs and RSRs and E types and so on. I am probably the only 18 year old your going to talk to that actually 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......., I printed out Jose Fernandez's article, so I'll take a look through.

    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.
    here's a sample of my work, this one I polished and got it's picture taken for a magazine. Hope you guys like it.
    one of my favorites

      Re: Hello, new young guy!

      Thanks and yeah I don't think I realized that. but do they know how to rebuild an SU carb, why Lucas is called the Prince of Darkness or know specs of the F40, or know how many championships Lancia won in rally?

      or wants to compete in the 24 Hours of LeMons

      I know what a Tatra is, is that bad?
      That's a nice T bird!

                  Like I said, an inspiration and hope I can be that successful.

                  Luckily, I know a guy through model cars, that has a printing shop, so he can do my cards and shirts but he has a buddy, that i'm trying to see if I can work with that has a mobile I think detailing business and he does cars for Concours de Elegance and shows in France and he got home a month ago from a big show in Florida.
