Hi all, my name is Bret. I have lived in Columbus for a few years now, but don't have any real friends in the area who are fellow enthusiasts. I have been into cars since I was little and I just love all things high performance.

I have two cars currently. My daily driver is a 2004 VW Jetta GLI 1.8T which I love! Its almost completely stock, and I am trying hard to keep it that way. I am also finishing up a 1990 Eagle Talon TSi AWD which has turned into a couple year project. It should finally see the road in the next few weeks, which will be the first time since like 1998 or something crazy like that! I bought the car two years ago from a guy who had it sitting in his garage all tore apart since like 1999. The motor is now completely built and I'm just trying to wrap up some details so I can finally drive it. I'm just running a small 16G for now, but have plans to do some upgrading over this coming winter.

I would really like to get involved with the group, as I tend to be shy and have a hard time making new friends. I have lots of friends back where I grew up around Akron-Canton, but would like to have some pals in Columbus. I look forward to meeting many of you and having a kick ass summer.

Here is a picture of my Jetta

and... here is a picture of my Talon as it looked when I bought it. I have since gotten it back to solid red, and its looking ALOT better!

also, not sure if there are any Nissan guys on here, but its possible I may have met you a few years back. This 240SX was my pride and joy for many years, but have since sold it. Sorry, maybe its lame to post a picture of my old car, but I still love it and miss it!
