Old newbie to this site

Well i've been away from dealing with anything Olds on the Internet for about three years (instead dealt with midlife career change, struggles, etc.). I used to participate on the old Olds Mailing List, 442.com and realoldspower.com. I didn't even know this site existed till a few weeks ago. It's nice to be back reading about others Oldsmobiles and ONLY Oldsmobiles.

Oh yeah, the last time i corresponded with Joe Padavano was in the late '90s when inquiring about a Turbo 400 for my '72. So i forget: is it pronounced "Pa-DAV-an-o" or "Pa-da-VAN-o"?

Welcome.

I'm no help with pronunciation either, the only French names I know are Pepe Le Pew and Chebrolet.

Just don't call me late for dinner (badda BING).

Welcome back. I went through the same life-gets-in-the-way problems a number of years ago, so I sympathize. After two divorces and three marriages, I'm finally at a point that I can devote some time and money to my hobby.
