I'm new, but kinda old.
« on: February 06, 2014, 03:47:07 PM »
So here I am. I'm 56. I live on the beautiful Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Canada. I've been around AMCs for the last 35 years. I've had Ramblers, Concords and Spirits, Ambassadors and Matadors, a few Javelins and AMXs. I'm really a Hornet and Gremlin lover. I have three Gremlins right now and...

Just bought my FIRST Eagle.

I've known of this site for quite some time but had nothing I needed to know about Eagles until now. So get ready for the questions that haven't been asked. Don't worry, I know how to use the search feature.

I may also be able to share some of the knowledge I've gained over the years of owning building and racing AMCs.

Thanks for having me here.

I'll head over to the pictures section to show and tell you about my Eagle.

Welcome to the Den! Glad you found us.
Always glad to see seasoned AMC vets here. And no worries there are quite a few here that have other AMC models as well.
Can't wait to see your pics!

Thank you all for the warm reception. I wish it was as warm outside right now. I want to wash and polish this thing, but my garden hose is frozen.
