Virgin Post

Hi all,

My first post here. Never even knew of this forum before... what an ignoramus!

Have been a member on Rennlist since 2001 and its predecessor and just found out about this site from another rennlister.

A quick run down on me, am 37, in banking and been through 5 Porsches (3.2 Carrera, 964 Carrera 4, 993 C2 6 speed and current ride 996TT), and one ferrari since getting into exotics. Currently running the 996TT tiptronic (yup, the wife demanded it be automatic...), and a Volvo/Heico HS9 SUV to cart the 3 kids around.

Look forward to getting to know more about the marque I love from you all. And the obligatory picture of my pride and joy (besides the wife and kids of course)...

Harold,

Welcome to the six, great introduction. Love the car and the color is hottt!
Oh and unless a picture is provided I dont believe you have a wife and think you just like the Tippy and the Volvo. So pics or suffer the consequences.

Welcome and great looking car. Careful with this forum, though, it will lead to great amounts of money being spent on mods...

Oh boy, just got to this forum and already I have been found out!!! Yup, a total slush box fiend and Volvo lover (would you believe I hit the Volvo forums as well HAHAHA).

Thanks for the compliments on the car (even if it is an auto)

That is what the wife constantly worries about

Car currently has full GT2 body kit, running around 600bhp at the flywheel (already down from 800 plus bhp) thanks to evo motorsport goodies... but am thinking of getting it to completely bog standard as it unfortunately has not been running too well recently and here in Singapore there is a real lack of experts (can you believe that.. spending money to go back to stock and essentially slow the car down... life is strange).

There is a forum for Volvo's....WOW, that must have some exciting posts...do they start something like this: "You wouldn't believe what happened after I picked the kids up from soccer practice....Viper Kill"
