I wonder if Isabo speaks German...

No, I don't speak German.
I just like the German, "don't fix it if it ain't broke" tagline as it's very apropos to the general state of my 911.

Hello

Isabo can´t be german tounged

Man braucht es nicht wieder herstellen, wenn es nicht gebrochen ist!

ist translatet via a machine and doesn´t hit the point in german.
A correct translation would be:

Man braucht es nicht wieder herzustellen, wenn es nicht gebrochen ist.

In german we would say maybe:

Man braucht nicht reparieren was funktioniert

or better

Wenn´s tut ist´s gut


Grüsse

OK,
I've updated my tagline. I just happen to like it as it's German for my German car that seems to be held together with baling wire and gaffer tape.
Thanks Roland.

The US will next be aggressors against Syria, Egypt, and the Sudan so that the jews will be in control of the Middle East."... Bin Laden

I think it was Churchill who said (adlib):

I am afraid that the biggest war will be the one when the American people have forgotten about the terrible sacrifices we have made for our Freedom.

Thank-you to all those Vetrans in North America who put their lives, families and beliefs on the line to fight for our Freedoms. Thank-you to all their families and friends who supported them so unselfishly.

My wifes brother and our good friend are in Afghanistan serving our Countries; this is no joking matter. May God Bless, Inspire and Motivate the leaders of our Countries, because when He loses control, we will have a problem.

Hello to my American Friends and Neighbours
We are Proud of You!
