ROBERTO's WORDS

Dear Friends,
It's a great pleasure for me to introduce you a new member of the staff.
His name is Daniele Purrone (a.k.a. the legendary taz)

I thank everybody who has offered his help: you still can help us! If you have reviews, news, pictures or evertything else concerning our friend Glenn, you only have to send me an e-mail.
In the future I'm planning to expand the site with new and interesting stuff:
I have many things in mind, but only my spare time to do them, so yo'll have to wait a while.
Let's just cross our fingers...

...see you on the road

A great BEAM to all of you.
Roberto Cosentino
