Barnblinker Introduction! Hello World!

Hello, world and welcome to Barnblinker.  So many of you may or may not understand the reason for this new site?  Well, let’s just say this is really my site that I’m willing to share with the rest of the world.  I’m a Software Engineer who has a deep passion for classic cars.  My collection today consists of mainly Porsche’s and Lotus’s.  Although, I have certainly had my run of many other cars.  So, why another blog?  Why more information if many of these cars have already been written about?  Well, the simple answer to that is good luck finding information if you’re in the process of a restoration, just fixing something, etc.  What I’ve realized over the years is that there’s a lot of information locked in the minds of fellow enthusiasts.  Well, this blog is just an attempt to organize the minds of those fellow enthusiasts to make that information more accessible to you.   In any event, I’ll keep posting new articles, findings, and maybe you’ll just see what exactly I’m working on. 🙂
