Hello from a new F-type owner, long-time lurker
Hello all! I've just joined here as a new F-type owner. I picked up a CPO 2017 F-type premium last week after lurking around here for some time, and saving my pennies for the past year+.
A small bit about me, I'm a geologist and environmental scientist, I have a degree in geology, specializing in geophysics, completed my research and thesis in the field of geochemistry. I also have a degree in automotive systems technology, was at one time an ASE certified master technician, and factory master certified on Mazda, Jeep, GMC, Buick and Cadillac. I (re)design and build my own motorcycles out of wrecked bikes, sometimes saving bikes on their way to being crushed. I'm an avid camper, kayaker, mountain biker, off-roader, hiker and photographer. I powder coat anything that can fit in my small powder coating oven, and I airbrush custom patterns on firearms, knives and tools with Duracoat firearm coatings. I teach myself/learn how to do everything, because learning how and doing it myself is more fun than paying someone else to do it for me. I've raised barns, restored old houses, learned to restore classic cars from someone who had been doing it for decades, built race miatas for customers, raced miatas myself, I study physics as a hobby, enjoy a good video game, and the occasional gin martini or a glass of The Kraken rum, and a lot more that I can't remember. You could sum me up by saying I'm a learner and explorer.
I look forward to learning from, and being part of, the community here!

Welcome to the forums Alisher,
Good to have you with us. Great Intro. I'm exhausted just reading through all your hobbies.
It sounds like you've already found your way around the forums so there's no need for any links from me.
Please add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.
