This Ian's self introduction. Welcome him aboard for a great ride...(I am
copying my nephew who is at the U of Melbourne with hopes they might connect)

<< Hi,
My name is Ian Cowie. Born 1950. Always been a petrol head, bought my first
car a Ford (English 4) before I left school, and drove it to school until I
got caught. Always loved driving, and fast. Had a ford falcon at a young
man with 3.6liter engine, F100 diff, Toyota gearbox and 3x SU, all that sort
of stuff. Spent a few years in mining, on Bougainville Island out in the
Pacific, got married there. Even drove a Cooper Climax once or twice back in
the sixties, mate of a mates car, at a track called Symons Plains in
Tasmania.
Later restored a 1927 Hupmobile 6. And following that a 1954 Singer SM1500
roadster. I have had two TR4A's, the latter being so strong when I first
drove it got the racing bug.
I try to keep it near to near concourse, and will enter in the competition
class the day after a night sprint next Saturday, at Calder Raceway (owned
by Bob Jane a famous Mustang driver here from the sixties) for this years
TSOA Concourse.
I have my own business, employing almost twenty people on Oz, and half dozen
or so in Shanghai China. We are chemical risk management company with
software designed by me, and support infrastructure. Customers include the
likes of Shell, Caltex, Castrol and some 250 others.
I am sincerely grateful for the assistance already received particularly
form TeriAnn, who introduced me I believe, Uncle Jack, and Wes. Thank you
all. And I look forward to being able to share my passion.
Thank you in anticipation
Ian

Ian of Melbourne, Australia is a candidate for addition to our illustrious
list of Triumph competitors.
Perhaps his fellow countryman, Mr. Dayton, will provide a second.
Ian a short introduction of yourself, is in order, but optional. We have no
rules regarding anything....except to have a good time.
