Hi all,
been here for about a week now, and I see myself keep coming back. I get really good replies and inspiration from this forum. Simply awesome I must say.
Who am I? I'm a 50yo Swedish guy, being a car and boat addict since I was about 1 yo when my mother tried to see if I could like to play with dolls instead of cars... The doll I got I dragged pushed to the floor and it sounded brrrrrrmmmmm brrrrrmmmmm, and thats how it all then continued.
Via Smokie and the Bandit, and on to Cannonball movies in the 80s I, just as many others had the obligatory Countach poster on my walls (together with the Motley Crue posters), my interest for Cars and Boats has always been there. Mostly have had "normal", but always sporty cars, and prefer BMWs as mine and wife's Daily drives.
Got a totally unnecessary and unpractical (according to friends) boat a few years ago, when I got a Monterey Supersport Bowrider (in full black with red striping). One of a kind (yes, 1 out of 1 existing in Sweden) over here in Sweden where all boats are practical and white and sleepable.
Workwise, I'm considered being a entrepreneurial Cyber security evangelist or expert, working at the major expert firm in the nordics in that area.
Got two lovely daughters - 21 and 16 and they both are also into cars, and share my views. Youngest one recently got pretty hooked on F1 and got the newest game, and directly bought a racing SIM Rig, that she will hook up today after school for a first time. Oldest one fell in love with a BMW Z4 Msport we got to have over a weekend by the local dealership. (Its good to buy lot of cars from the same guy... but I guess we all know that).
But maybe now its time to get into why I'm here in this forum... I have always been a Lambo-guy. Ofcourse Ferraris and the others are really nice brands too, but there is something special with Lamborghini. Lambo is about passion, where Ferrari is about posing, just as I often think Porsche is for the one that do not know what to get, and especially why. Similar with Audi actually...
I know exactly why I have the gadgets and things I do, no matter what it is.
I have always said that one day I will have a nice hobby car too... and that means a Lamborghini, and I so look forward getting it, and drive by the guy on the other side of the lake I live by, that has a Ferrari...
Thing is - some things have recently happened in my businesslife, giving me some new possibilities both right now, but also most likely again in coming years. That has for sure increased my nightly thoughts on Lamborghinis in the getting. (Hence all the recent questions on the forum about prices, recommendations etc... and a lot of reading up...)
Love to be here, and love the feeling and atmosphere on the forum!
