    Not only am I new to the Vortex, but this is also my first Euro car Can't believe I waited this long...this 7 year old car is nicer than some of the brand new cars I've owned in the past couple of years! I love cars and have had many in an embarrassingly short time, but this so far is already my favorite. I drove two sedans which were much faster (and I loved the Recaros) but this is a toy so I wanted to go for the drop-top.

    2005 Cabriolet with 6 speed manual, 43K miles, previously owned by a doctor. Never modified, and only a few minor scratches on the entire car. Only true damage is all of the road rash on the wheels, which is a shame because I really liked them.

    So, first mod was a set of new RS4 replicas that a friend sold to me for a great price. Next enhancement will be a good headlight buffing, and after that...who knows! I'm definitely limited by the cab status, but hopefully I'll be able to have some fun with it regardless.

    Hello and welcome...

    Glad to hear you've come over to the Euro side and are enjoying the light!

    You made a nice choice for your first Teutonic automobile. It should serve you well as a fun car to toy around with and look good doing it...

    I love to see that you tackled a manual as well. That's an easy sign of a true motoring enthusiast!!

    Enjoy...

    Maybe he thought this was the start of a general "Hi I'm new" thread? One where people introduce themselves?
