The end of a journey

And the beginning of a new one! :)

Outstanding! :)

Congratulations Paul. Hope this brings you great joy.

It does bring joy...on several levels. :)

Beautiful car !

Amazing. Ending up in Istanbul of all places. Why never back in the States?

That, Livi, is a long story...let us just say that a handfull of people got under my skin. I wasn't after money when I passed the car on to Evren...

End of your journey, beginning of his.

Good for you, doing what you thought was best and carrying through.

Istanbul is a beautiful place, a fitting setting for Evren's car.

I thought so...Istanbul was a civilized city and a trading port before Columbus sailed the ocean blue...May Evren enjoy as much time with the car as I did...

Paul, I commend you for doing what you felt was best for your pride and joy, as opposed to simply selling to the highest bidder. Stunning car though, it couldn't have been easy.

We should all be so lucky to retire in those surroundings:)

Great! I have been in touch with Evren and will see him the next time I get to Istanbul! Was there recently and he was in America, so we will make it sometime!

When you get there? Give the old car a pat on the ass for me, willya? Some 36 year old girls appreciate that...;)

Why not back in the States? Evren can be switched to Never!

No he can't...Evren is an honorable man.

Paul,

I was there last fall, and spent the night in Istanbul. Emailed him but did not hear from him for couple of days, and it turns out he was on vacation (or working, not sure which) in Florida!

Will give the old girl a squeeze and hug for you! I still miss my '72 and would love to have another someday.

Joe

I was on your side with my dumb joke Paul--as in it will never be here again. Try the veal! :)

Gotcha...my apologies for not catching on...:D

How long from door to door?

Seemed like damned near forever. She left here in July of '07...reached Istanbul in a few months, but Customs kept delaying...and delaying. I think Evren got her, finally in December? But then, Istanbul weather wasn't conducive to pleasure driving until about now...
