Default Newbe/Oldtimer....Oldtimer/Newbe......
Really don't know if to call myself a newbe or an old-timer. Any way I just joined the C5 ranks and just wanted to say Hi Have been on the forum since way back in '99 (the old-timer part) but spent most of my time in the C3 forums and some time in the C4 forums.

But just got a '04 Commemorative Edition Convertible this weekend (the newbe part) I am sure that I will be having some questions and I know that you guys can help me out Below are a couple of pics of the car.
