(AKA SizSkiizd on IGCD)

Ok, it's not my real name (Sigurd), but it sounds better than my real one. I love cars, that's why I'm here.

My name's Lateef. Some MAY know me as SizSkiizd, Chi and my professional alias John Derbyshire. I'm young compared to most of the other guys here (I'm from 1992), my major interests are, other than cars; music/soundtracks, films, games, aviation, languages and travelling/exploring.

I'm from Oslo, Norway, and cars have always been an important part of my life. Since I was four, I've been able to identify the make of most cars driving on the roads dead-on. I have not learnt to drive yet, but I will soon. I want my first car to either be a Ford Scorpio or a Mazda 323.

These are some cars my family have owned throughout history. * means during my lifetime.

I like small-to-medium saloon cars and vans mostly from the 60's 70's 80's and 90's, typically Japanese, Korean and British cars. Cars I do dislike, however are huge American ugly cars from the 1970's and also most types of SUV's, there are exceptions however.
