[Essex exile]

I'm new on here. I've just put down a deposit on a 1976 java green beauty.
I may have to pick a lot of brains on here!
Cheers, Danny

Welcome on board Danny. We look forward to the photo of your new purchase. Hopefully you won't be asking too many difficult questions, or at least not ones with 'expensive' answers.

Hiya,

Welcome to the forum. You will find plenty of help and banter on here - even though you have bought a Java one

It was either java or magenta. if you're going to get a lairy seventies car, then get a lairy seventies colour.
One thing I've learnt from perusing this fine forum, is I'm quids in already. It's got cruising lights instead of badges!

Oy! Just coz yours is still in primer although you believe its white, Dave, there is no need to pick on java cars..... take no notice of these heathens Danny, java is good, although 4 years later they are still extracting the urine...... my wifes cousin lives near you, so its not uncommon for my java beast to be roaring through your way......

I had to look up Ongar in Google Maps - It seems to be in Essex... why the exile? Welcome and good luck with the car.

It's a football related thing. I'm originally from Poplar, but now I'm exiled in Essex among west ham riff raff. Being a Millwall supporter that puts me in bandit country.
As for java green, it's horrified most people who have seen the pictures, but i think along with magenta it is the ultimate 70's colour

If you're originally from Poplar, shouldn't you support the Hammers anyway, given The Den up shipped across the water? Also there are more bandits in Bermondsey than East Ham!

Welcome to the forum. Some might say that "Java Green" and "beauty" are mutually exclusive, but you are on the right lines in your Magenta comments

Anyway welcome and, as you have already seen, there is a bit of banter here and the people are very knowledgable and helpful.

Hi Danny, welcome to the finest asylum in the universe. I LIKE JAVA ! there - I've said it, didn't used to, but as you say, it's a 70s colour on a 70s car, good for you, it makes a statement ! Martin.

[pcoleman]
