Your car is gorgeous. Vesuvio is one of my favorites. This is a picture of my vesuvio car that I sold a year ago. It is nice to see such a happy Porsche owner. Welcome aboard.

Great looking car, and great pictures! Thanks for posting - makes me want to take the bumperettes off my car. Wonder if that would look good without the euro license plate.

My old phone was 5 years old and I am not into phones, so I am very surprised about the things this phone can do! With the 3.5G HSDPA connection that this phone has, viewig pictures and sending messages (this one too) works like a breeze! It is only a bit slower than the cable that I have on my home PC. 5 years seem to be a lifetime, when talking about cell phone development.
While not as robust as a full-blown navigation unit, the voice-guided navigation in Nokia Maps has been helpful a number of times. I don't even bother using my Mio C520 navigation unit anymore as well.

I got a Nokia N95 8Gb phone with 5mpix camera a couple of days ago and here are some sample shots. I am quite happy with the quality of the pictures taking into account that it is a phone. However, sunshine and nice panorama on the background would be nice but at the moment we have only 5 hours of daylight here. So this is what I got.
Please excuse me the dirty car. Keeping the car clean on our salty and sandy roads is very laborious.
As you can see, I chose not to store my car for the winter. Despite the fact that the car has brand new winter tires, being a Carrera 2 manual with no ESP, the driver has to be extremely focused on driving. The car spinns quite easily. But in the snow, on a large, empty parking lot or on the ice of a lake, oh boy how fun driving can be in the winter!

A Peterbuilt rolled into me a couple of years ago on the interstate parking lot during rush hour. There wasn't a mark on my car, you couldn't even see where he knocked any dust off the bumperettes. He said he couldn't see me, but I had been in front of him for awhile. We were both amazed there was no damage, he even more-so that I said just forget it, no harm, no foul. They are ugly but under 5 MPH they work with 80k rolling lbs

Thanks, Tim. As I suspected, the U.S. license plate looks kind of small in that space without the bumperettes. I guess I'll keep it the way it is. I appreciate you showing me what it would look like.
