About Me:
Hello, Im Neptune; I discovered IMCDb while browsing for other movie related sites. I visited IMCDb off and on for almost
three months (viewing vehicles I had seen in some of my favorite films) before I ever registered to become a member.
So far I enjoy this site as it gives me a chance to learn new things, and to exercise knowledge I already have. I have a good
outlook toward IMCDb and its members and like the interaction and information that abounds.
I reside in
Wilmington, North Carolina, USA. I love movies (prefer horror films) cars, and taking vacations with my two kids.
I have an avid interest in the automotive industry and enjoy studying automotive design as a hobby (It doesnt sound like a
very fun or rewarding hobby, but if youre a true gear-head, then its a neat way to further your automotive knowledge) When
I was young I was fascinated with astronomy. My favorite planet was (and still is)
Neptune, hence my nickname. In general,
I'm easy to get along with; being a sweet-natured person by default, I'm sure those who deal with me on a day-to-day basis
would tell you the same ...
