Hi everybody! I'm Alessandro, 18 years old (almost 19, 'cause my birthday is in January). I live in a small town in northern Italy, almost 100km (62mi) from Turin and 60km (37mi) from Milan.
My interest in cars began when I was very, very young. I drove the first time when I was 9, and didn't stall
Nowadays I drive a '99 Daewoo Matiz to go to school, and my dad's '01 Opel Astra 1.2 to go out with my friends. Sometimes I drive my mom's new Ford Fiesta 1.2 (the latest model): respectively 51, 75 and 82 bhp's. Wooooow.
Of course, because of my not-so-fast cars, I spend quite a lot time driving at the PC... and LFS is the best simulator I've ever come across. My S2 Licence will come in a few days (edit: freddyalek90 ---> S2 licensed)
My wheel is a Thrustmaster Rallye GT Pro Clutch Edition. It's not the G25, I know, but it's the best I could afford. Before I had a Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP and an old Wingman Formula. I've changed them because, after years of use (abuse is the best word) almost all the buttons didn't work, and the pedals went wrong. Tried to mend them, but it didn't last long...
I'm also an avid watcher of Top Gear (I just adore the trio!) and I like to listen to hard rock/prog metal/prog rock and lately classical music. I also play the keyboard in a progressive metal band... but we are now without a drummer.
when I said "Good news!" I just started laughing in my mind that sounded just like James May was saying it... then I realized I wasn't speaking about the Dacia Sandero
