Hi everybody!

It's been a long time since i first started reading this newsgroup, although
my contributions have been slightly..... slightly..... well, at least I have
writen one or two messages, ok?? :-D

Well, i'm regular poster at es.charla.motor, and a long time Ferrari fan.
And now, 27 years old, 2 years since I moved to Paris..... and I have bought
an sports car!

2 seats, mid-mounted engine, five speed, rear wheel drive, targa top, 4
exhaust exits, small boot on the back, big one on the front (talking about
my car, of course), yellow, italian...... yes, it's a genuine '81 Fiat X
1/9! And yes, it's said that some parts are shared with Ferrari 308's, as
well as Lancia Beta Montecarlo (you know, the parts you don't want to break
down, if they cost the Ferrari price).

It is a nice car to drive, funny, small, light, kinda powerful. It is as
well a bit horrible and so, but I like it, although sometimes it stops
working in the middle of the Champs Elys?es (thanks God only two times, both
on the downhill way...), or at the car-park entrance, at two a.m. and you
need to start the engine again, hoping to be fast enouh to disappear before
neighbours begin to throw stones to you through their windows....

My favourite Ferraris are the 512M, the 412i, and maybe a silver grey 328GT.
I have the luck to live in a city where those cars are seen everyday. I
actually have thousends (maybe hundreds or dozens, instead) of pictures of
nice cars, as it seems quite difficult to look around and not seing one. The
most incredible Ferrari I had the oportunity to see, photograph, and chat
with the owner, was a 365 GTB Daytona Spider, blue.... only 36.000 km
done... well, the owner also has a Bentley with Lenin's head in the front, a
Mercedes S500 (the one from the sixties, of course), and so on.

And what else....... well, my contributions will not be very regular, I
think.... but if ever you come to Paris (mmmm..... motorshow the end of the
month......), you know who can provide you top quality location. No, not at
home, please.... I mean the Hotel I work at.

And that's all, folks!
