Welcome Sir (Mr Mach 1),
Glad to have you here with us.
Anyone that has owned such a nice car for thirty years rightly deserves to be called MrMach1.
I will be looking forward to your input in the site.

Hi and welcome. The only car I know with one owner for so long in my dad's Morris Minor woodie (1959). Now my mum's. Congrats on such a history.

Always thought the Morris lacked something - I remember performance!!
Not that it would go round corners either so I supose lacking in both (performance and handling) made it a balanced vehicle.
Ultra reliable though. Only ever stopped twice (fuel pump).

Welcome Mr. Mach 1! Glad you found us and it looks like you have jumped right in. It is definitely a rarity to hold onto a car for 30 years. You must have great foresight. My parents own a 69 Camaro Pace Car that has been sitting in their garage (not barn) for 35 plus years. I am so into Mustangs that I never even ask what their plans are for the car. It's kind of weird but I have absolutely no interest in it. Any who...welcome!

I have no problem understanding your lack of camero interest. I'm a total mustang guy too.
