Cindy & I would be there in a heartbeat if we could...alas, some health stuff has pretty much restricted us to only day long excursions...

Congrats, Paul. Evren and the car both look very happy. What a wonderful place for an old girl to have her next fling...

Congratulations to Evren on enduring the wait.
I had to wait 10 months to get my Tristar from Germany. About 8 months of the wait was while the car was stuck in US customs in the dock, and while it was getting OK'd by the EPA. It was worth the wait for me, and for Evren too, I'm sure.

alternate transportation
while I'm getting the kinks out of my door on the wee beastie, and rebuilding the engine, I found a sweet Lincoln town car.
Think I'll get it................................... You bought one yet? How's Cindy doing at the target range? JD, a.k.a., brorag Last edited by Brorag; 03-10-2008 at 08:05 PM.. |

Holy crap!! I thought he's had the car all this time. Glad to see it finally there and in good hands.
Congrats to Paul and Evren on a job well done!

That's always been a good story, Paul; but the pics make it even better. Thanks!

I think Evren has a difficult task... I am not sure I would be able to enjoy it, thinking about the history of the car and its previous owner.... It's a big responsibility.... |

John, I'm still all over the map, have been thinking 4 door Wrangler, Infinity G-37, you name it. Actually don't "need" a car...so just hanging out, waiting to see if anything turns me on. If not, guess there's no crime in having cash... One thing I'm sure of...no more cars that require going to Portland for mechanical work. Traffic up there is a nightmare. Yeah, Cindy can still shoot...
