Hi from Cork

Postby giuanz » Mon Nov 10, 2008 6:17 pm

Hi there,

I'm an electronic engineer working in an IT company in Cork.

My new toy's a '96 GPX that I bought on eBay 2 weekends ago:

http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... 0273415751

I drove all the way from Manchester to Holyhead to Dublin to Cork. The car is the most beautiful one I've ever had and I want it to keep me happy for at least a few years, so I'm doing some maintenance, and I hope I can get some good advice for that here.

My real name's Giovanni and you can guess I'm not native Irish :). Italy is my country of origin but I live in Ireland since 4 years.

Looking forward to joining the forums, cheers!

hey FTOny, your avatar is fantastic. I laughed for one minute at that sentence.
Can I get your permission to make a sticker out of it and put it on the back of the car?
