Hello, Merry Christmas and all that...

I've just discovered this board today, and I must say I've enjoyed browsing it immensely. I'm at work, but its a slow day

I've recently acquired an '03 996TT (manual tranny) and am loving it to bits. I'm coming to the Porsche from highly tuned Mitsubishi Lancer Evolutions, and a classic E30 BMW M3. Of course the Porsche is in a different league altogether, no comparison overall.

The Evo may be quicker around a track (we don't have any hugely long "power tracks" here in the Philippines. the ones we do have are short, highly technical, and favor lighter, nimbler cars like the Evo,) the M3 more involving, but for sheer effortless mile munching ability, build quality, and style, the Porsche is in a class of its own.

i'm still learning the car, but i'm sure that process of discovery will be both fun and fascinating. am glad to be here!

cheers!
