Greetings all!

[TheTireMan]

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Bill Schwab.
I live in the sleeply little hamlet of Brooksville, Fl.
I have owned German auto since I was 21 yo and was serving with pride in the US Air Force, Travis AFB, CA.
At that time I was driving a 1977 VW Scirocco. What a great little car.
The only car that I had owned up to that time, that I could slide the drivers seat ALL the way back and NOT reach the pedals. Mind you, I am 5'11' tall. So that is saying something. Of course, the only person who could sit behind me, was a double amputee. LOL.

Now I drive a comfortable, if not racy, BMW 525i. You know. the M20 version. Not fast, but fun, and comfortable.

When not working for a major airline as a Lead Mechanic (A&P) in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, I am the owner/operator of Precision Mobile Tire in Brooksville. Hence, the moniker, TheTireMan.
I sell brand name tires, mount, balance and install them at your location. I use the Hunter 'Road Force' balancer and changer. Only the finest equipment for the finest automobiles.

I hope that the administators don't find this objectionable. As I mean no harm at all.
But, I would like to offer my services to all club members, as every body would like to know of a good shop and a fair deal.


Again, Hello and thanks.

Thanks to all for the warm reception.

Hey Bill!
Welcome to the forum.
I pass through Brooksville all time when I go to visit family and friends in Crystal River.
I'll definitely keep you in mind when I need new tires.

welcome man, we def need pics!

[TheTireMan]

WOW!!!

This has got to be the most friendly forum I have ever posted to.
I have never seen more 'hi/hellos/welcomes' anywhere.
Thanks.

The 5er is in the shop getting new rear wheel bearings now. Will/should have a chance this week to post pix.

Yes, the Scirocco was an awesome car.
I had the first gen. Four round headlights.
The first was a '77 1.6l 4 speed car that I drove for a year and a half. After getting her all beat up in an Oklahoma hail storm, traded her in on a 81 (?) Scirocco, 5 speed 'S' model. Wish I still had that one.

That was just the start of owning German autos. VW, BMW and Mercedes (diesel of course). Love them all.

Later,

Bill.

[TheDarkSide]
