Default New to the forum and new to me 996TT

Three weeks ago I purchased the second Porsche I have ever owned, the first being a 1972 2.2T 911 which I owned quite some time ago. This one is a 2005 996 Turbo S which needs a little work but is fundamentally sound. I already have a bunch of bits on order and an appointment with the paintshop coming up. This is the first opportunity that I have had to take some decent pics so I thought I would share and say hello.

I've not spent much time in Riyadh, I'm generally coastal. Where's home?

You haven't missed much. I am an Aussie but Vietnam is home these days.
