Hello everybody,

I register to rennlist some time ago since I bought my first Porsche, a 1993 Carrera 2 Convertible - in 2006. I haven't been very active lately in this forum (actually, in the 964 forum) but, since this past Friday I finally bought a very nice 2005 Carrera S with 33,000 miles, I thought it'd be appropriate to re-introduce myself.

I live in Houston, TX, where I moved last year after spending 6 years in St. Louis, Missouri and 5 years in Norfolk, Virginia. My hometown is Genova (Genoa), in Northern Italy, where I was born and raised.

This is a link to a picture of my new car (note the ceramic brakes). I just love it!!

Ciao,

Paolo

Nice car, and I sure enjoy the ceramics with their lack of brake dust.
Have fun with the new ride.

Welcome Paolo.

Looks like a 997 launch edition car. I came very close to buying one also.

Enjoy your new love! May you always have smooth and uncrowded roads to keep her happy.
