Beautiful car and surroundings! That interior is excellent. Welcome to the tank!
Unless the engine is very tired, a supercharger will give you alot of HP without pulling the engine. However, I'm not saying a stroker wouldn't be my choice too if I had the wallet for it...

Looks like you got on the wrong side of the Sheriff.
Really? Palm trees grow in Switzerland? I had no idea.

Steve: Welcome to rennlist!
Randy: This is the area of Switzerland South of the Alps, bordering on Northern Italy. The Lago Maggiore is probably one of the most beautiful lakes in that area, and the climate is quite mild. A great area to enjoy an exotic car! And only a 4.5 hour drive from Stuttgart... a nice weekend getaway in the old days.

Hi Schocki,
dear Nicole
it's also nice to meet guys which I already know from the german board.
And, I have to agree to Nicole - Ticino is a very beautiful spot to live in. The italian boarder is just 3 miles away, the Mediterranean See just 2 hours. Whenever I find some time (and believe me, I find a lot of excuses to find it..) I enjoy driving the shark along the lake, listening to the V8 engine and enjoying the overwhelming landscape.
Regards

Hello Stefan, welcome to the group. Very nice car!
I visit the Lago and surroundings every 2 years or so for family visits (Brione) and the Versasca valley. Really nice area. And I love the local Panettone!

The alps with the skiing and mountaineering, the fun mountain roads, the warm Mediterranean climate, a tax system that does not kill you slowly..
My shark comes from Switzerland, up north, Bellach - Solothurn.

Yes, I sure miss the 1.5 hour distance to France, the 2 hours to Austria or Switzerland, and 4.5 hours to Northern Italy. You could get away into a totally different culture in almost no time.
The trouble nowadays are all the speed limits - not sure you can still get through Switzerland as quickly as we did. I hear the penalties are ridiculously high, if they catch you speeding.
But then again, you guys shouldn't have it too far to Sweden or Denmark. That was FAR for us... and I did not know what I missed until I visited Anders a few years ago in the summer (which is when Hell is campaigning up North).
I can't wait to visit Sweden again! But I'll make sure it won't be winter when I go...

Just spent a couple weeks near you in Lago Como and Milano. Did not see any sharks but plenty other Porsche cars. North Italy is by far my favorite place in Europe. Love your car.
