If you fly anywhere between the Nevada/Utah border and Japan (to include the entire Pacific Ocean), or the Oregon/Ca border and Paso Robles, your aircraft's safe arrival is my responsibility.

Thank you! My wife and I have just finished a long distance relationship, her in Portland OR and me in Lost Angeles... over two years of weekly flights and never a problem in the air!

For almost 20 years I've been known as "Head" to my friends. I've got a bit of a big noggin. I had to add some random numbers at some point to make it unique.

What if your name already ended in "er," or "ers?"

Like, Jennifer, Christopher, Peter, Alexander, Amber, Heather, Walter, Spencer, etc.

My house was the 'unofficial' headquarters for traveling pro surfers to stop and check in with the competition officials for a whole week...it was unreal. Was made an honorary ASP member and everything.

Living with the Aussies for a week was a real experience, let me tell you...ha ha...I could tell you stories!

Anyway....the morning they left they stuck a miniature Aussie flag in one of my house plants with a nice thank you note addressed to "Bazza"....and the rest is history!

Great story Bazz!!!

Can some one, anyone, point me to a better looking car, ever?

You guys can wear Paul out, but can you imagine walking up to that thing to go for a drive?

I just finished a 40 mile drive in my little Notch, birthday drive for me. While my 356 is great, Paul's former car is simply the best example of the breed.

She certainly is gorgeous. I thought that when I saw it on Paul's post. I didn't know what the story was or is behind Paul getting rid of his Porsche for the 'Stang.
