I'll be the first
I'm Steve. Got my start in exotics before I was born. Dad used to be massively in to cars, he built a Bolwell Nagari convertible and had a late 70's (I think) Ferrari 308 for a while. He sold the Bolwell because it was going to kill my mother, and then he sold the Ferrari to buy a tractor for the farm. Ash Wednesday came along and destroyed the weeks old uninsured tractor, so Dad doesn't enjoy talking about his 308 experience much... if at all. He's just starting to get back in to it... he's looking at trading his three litre Q7 for the V12 diesel if it ever gets here, and he'll be buying a GT-R when they arrive... but there's an extraordinarily slim chance of him buying a proper grand tourer like the DB9 or 599. We'll see...
I'm a qualified wine judge, but I work with oil and gas and computers and stuff. Part time trader (mostly currency and oil). I drive an 06 Golf GTI, though I have a Passat R36 on the way. If I had more coin I'd go for the RS6, but I'm poor and young (I'm 23... give me time...) and cheap and I really want one but maybe later... until then, the R36 is a good compromise... quick-ish (quicker than the Golf!) and more useful and better sounding, but it's still about two seconds away from being quick enough and about 50 designers away from being awesome looking. It's a start, though
I've been looking at photos here for a while but only joined and started posting a short while ago.
Other than cars, my interests are fairly basic: Adventures, wine, golf, food (not a fatty), travel, aviation, guns, technology, etc, etc, etc.
The cars I want are generally older... Miura, 250 GT, 275 GTB, 288 GTO, 57c Atlantique (yeah right!), and so on... although an LP640 and 430 Scud wouldn't go astray.
