New member from Italy... with a 993
Hi everyone!
I hope this is the right section for new member introductions.
My name is Andrea, I'm from Italy, and I'm 38.
I've been into sports cars (and, above all, into driving!!) for years.
It all started with an MX-5 in 2003 (and with 3 great driving courses with Siegfried Stohr, a former F1 driver who opened a great driving school here in Italy), then I sold it and bought a Honda S2000, then a Lotus Elise S2 111S. In 2009 I sold my Elise because I really wanted to buy a 993, but unfortunately prices were starting to rise here in Italy, so I "settled" for a BMW Z4 Coupe (great car, but the 993 was still my dream).
Over the years I've driven these cars - the Elise in particular - in many European circuits, and I have fantastic memories from tracks such as Charade, Le Mas du Clos, the old Nurburgring, Salzburgring, Rijeka and so on...
Since a week ago I'm the proud and happy owner of a great '95 993 C4 Cabriolet.
Midnight blue, black dashboard and grey sports seats.
It's my first Porsche, I've been enjoying a lot my first miles in it, and I'm looking forward to discussing with you all about driving and cars, and to learning all the secrets of our favorite cars!
Ciao!
