INTRODUCE YOURSELF
Hiya, I'm Joe, 33 and live in Lancaster (never heard of it? Well, it's 5 mins away from where 'The Bay' is filmed) and I am one of the new admins for Square Society! I work in a members only club in Lancaster and spend most of the time playing darts and chatting with old men. I'm also admin over at Northwest Car Junkies.
You can also follow my personal account on Instagram @miniskin_garage and also, my photography page on Instagram @jc.cars2022
I got into the car scene as a kid helping my dad and my uncle Bob at weekends restoring cars and vans for television. I learnt to drive in a Morris Minor 1000 that was the police car in heartbeat. Always had a love of motorsport too, started with Speedway as a kid and grown since then.
WHAT SQUARE DO YOU OWN?
I'm the proud owner of a 2010 Nissan Cube Autech Rider. She's named Nora the Nissan, an old friend said cars should always be females.... but that's a different story for another time. The only real story was the 7-hour train ride with my son to pick her up, a great day out train hunting before we drove her back from Wales. We filled her up and then couldn't figure out how to start her but apart from that no real stories.
I bought my cube in 2021 after years of loving them. Before I got mine it was a pipe dream from teenage Joe's life. Unfortunately, my mum died winter 2020 but bittersweet as my dad then gave me the opportunity to buy my dream car. I actually went to look at a z11 but the z12 won my heart.
WHAT MODS HAVE YOU DONE TO YOUR SQUARE?
My cube is totally standard, minus a few stickers. Although my plans for the future is to put the wheels on that I've got sat in my cellar, they just need a repaint first. I'd love to put airride on my cube and change the stereo, looking at adding a leisure battery so we can go camping next summer.
WHAT ARE YOUR TOP 3 SONGS TO LISTEN TO IN YOUR SQUARE?
Choosing a top 3 is very hard but I'd never thought it would be this hard! As I have to choose 3, I think I'll go with these 3 as my top 3 songs that I enjoy listening to:
Bouncing Souls - True Believers
Cocksparrer - A.U
Agnostic front - For My family
IF MONEY WAS NO OBJECT, THEN WHAT WOULD YOUR TOP 5 DREAM CARS BE?
On to my dream cars, I now own 1 of them so it made it a little bit harder to not include a cube. Here's my top 5 dream cars...
Vauxhall Nova Sri in Spectral Blue
Morris Minor 1000 3 door, not bothered by colour
Suzuki Wagon R
Honda City Turbo 2
Nissan Skyline ER34
ANY Honourable MENTIONS OR SHOUTOUTS?
There are a lot of people I'd like to thank personally but I'd like to also mention that there will be more than likely be loads that I have forgotten (so if you're reading this and your name hasn't been mentioned, I'm sorry!)...
