Welcome! There is obviously more mutuality between Melbourne and Miami than just the first letter! ;)

Thank you very much, Tom. Yes, much more to it than the first letter, he he... Melbourne, Australia... Melbourne, Florida :cool: no coincidence on the mutuality :thumbsup: if that's what you're referring to...

Welcome! I think you are neighbors with one of our moderators @James.

Oh, really?? Excellent! The world is indeed a small place! So I take that to mean that James is most likely a fellow Aussie, and if not, is possibly from New Zealand?

I imagine that would indeed happen to you quite often! :) a lot of people around the world do indeed confuse us for each other often! And between both Austria and Australia, we have the top 2 most liveable cities in the world, so we can't complain :cool:

Hello, Scot, thank you very much for the welcome, cheers! I am really looking forward to diving in deep and exploring all that the site has to offer, and am certainly looking forward to interacting with fellow members :)

As for how I became a fan, well, it goes like this...

I am now in my late 30s, so I was only very young when Miami Vice first started airing on TV. My earliest memories of it go back to the late 1980s and sitting down weekly to watch the last two seasons of the series with my mother, who loved the show, and I have very fond memories of doing that. It was mesmerising, there is something about 80s America that just had me hooked. I continued to watch re-runs of the series in to the 1990s and 2000s, and as I grew older, I really came to appreciate just how brilliant the series is. I purchased the box set of the entire series when it was released a few years back, and have continued to love the series since. I am also an 80s and general retro fanatic too, so that certainly hasn't hurt my love for Miami Vice either :thumbsup: and I am also a huge music fan, especially electronic music, and names like Jan Hammer and Giorgio Moroder are heroes of mine in that sense, so that all ties into my love for 80s Miami aesthetic as well.

Thanks very much, miamijimf! And thanks to Martin too :clap: now that's a welcome!

I am actually from Melbourne in Australia :cool: not Melbourne in Florida, but it is a great pleasure to live in a city that shares the same name as one in the great State of Florida!
