Hi!
Been busy solving some quizes here the later days.
My name is Tor Henning Ertsland Engen, but on close to all forums I've registered I use the username Bugace. The reason is simple. In my small group of friends, I'm known as the one who know most cars, thereby I choosed the "ace". This might not be correct inside a forum like this, there I see plenty real "Doctors in Automobile". "Bug", I love T Ford, and Beetles espacially. Maybe not that many that used the word "bug" for a car when the T was launched, but I've seen it used. I don't think I need to mention the Beetle connection.
I'm a '66 model my self. At the moment I'm dissabled, meaning a lot of time for what I like. I'm in the prosses of getting a lifetime dissabillity, as I don't wish to have the pressure of maybe one day, maybe, be able too do some work. The reason for my dissabillity are pshycic, so I have some great days, but a lot of worse days.
My carinterest begun earlier then my memory. When I was 4 year old, my mother had too learn the trafficrules, as I'm no longer asked about the cars we saw on the roads. I knew them all. I asked about the trafficsigns, and different rules insted. She didn't had her driverlices for another 4 years, but then she knew the theory.
From the teenages upwards, I lived with my mother and sister. My moters income was far under what was consider poor in Norway, but I never missed anything important. It only ment that first now, just three, four years ago I have had the possibillity too use time, and money on cars. I now have three project cars, one rolling, or close too rolling. Two Beetles, and a Fiat 130 Berlina.
First the later months have I learned that the early years of automobiles facinates me the most, and I've decided to try to learn as much as possibel. This Forum is spot on doing so. Thank You too those who made this site!
