Default Hello from Switzerland

Hi,

I may use this occasion to introduce myself.

My name is Stefan and I am living in the italian part of Switzerland (canton of Ticino) on the banks of Lago Maggiore.

I own a 1986 5.0 Liter 32V 928 and I just love this car. I am also active in the german Porsche board (PFF), like to meet other shark owners, participate in meetings and learn more about the car.

Well, I signed up here, not only to train and improve my knowledge of english (it worsened over the last years), but to learn more about adding some power to my old lady.

Well, probably next year, as a larger revision of the engine is due, I will go for a stroker kit. At present, I am reading over the interesting discussions here.

Hope to meet here many shark freaks.

Regards

Stefan

P.S. - I attached two fotos of my shark

Sorry - my mistake on the sig suggestion. Only paid members have the sig option.

Do read through the New Visitor...FAQ thread at the top of this forum.

Best to you!

Hi Randy,

thanks for the help - I was looking around for this option and couldn't find it. Well, I will pay for a premium membership as soon as mummy will pay my weekly allowance

Wow! Very nice.

No need for a stroker. The nice thing about the 32V S3 is that you can make it much more powerful with some easy additions.

Your Sha4rk appears it is slippery. Every line, as it has managed to remain (relatively[ relative to across the pond]) close to where it was born.

Have pics of it and the lake available?

Default Snow on the moutain

Hi folks,

thank you very much for your warm welcome. As many of you have requested pictures of the lake, I may look, if I find one.

But, for the moment, I give you an idea:

First snow has covered the mountains and if I look out of my (home) office, I can see palm trees and these mountains. I took this picture some days ago. Nice, isnt' it?

Regards

Stefan
