Hey all, I just have gotten back from my tour of Rome and thought I would let you guys know how I'm doing.............
Well before I got to Italy I spent two weeks in London, where there was nice cars aplenty, but the weather was pretty lousy compared to Taurunga.
Well anyway I reached Turin two weeks ago and started my new job, even got to meet the head of FIAT:D :D well anyway I like many other bean-counters, have been given the challenge of bringing FIAT out of the red (They couldn't have picked a better person to do :D)
As far as my rides go, I have aquired a Red Alfa Romeo 156 V6 2.5, curtosey of FIAT, which I am sorting some mods for, I will keep you posted on that, while back home I scrapped the Cosmo and flogged the Pug off for $82,900 which may sound expensive but the mods bought up the value, while the 2002 is in the hands of some fellow 2002 owners. I also hope to invest in a Maserati Ghibli and turn it into a track racer and get my racing "career" back on track..........;)
Another aim is to get my own internet account and stop using my parents XTRA account:mad: :mad: :mad: :p and replace all my plugs, so they can fit in these stupid European bplug sockets........
Well later guys, I have been driving all night and it is time for some sleep............
Oh and just ignore Jared, he just loves attention:p :p

bah, I have had too much coffee to sleep.......so
Yeah I met Mr. Cantarella, just a week before his resignation, I 'm still awaiting the announcment on my new boss, but I'm a patient Kiwi bloke, I can wait..........
I haven't really paid any attention to my name though:rolleyes:
As for the cars, most of them are FIAT's and rusted out ones at that, but there are a few Ferraris patrolling the streets and Alfa Romeo's, Lancia's and a few Lambo's here and there, nothing special, although, while in Rome I caught sight of the new Mazda 6, with what looked like German number plates:confused:

As for the Maserati, all I have to say is Asento Corsa (I think :silly: somthing like that :D )
