Ivan

Great!
By the way, enjoy your ride in the cold and sunny weather, I am sending you our rainy but somewhat mild temp weather from northern France. Car staying at home once again.

What a great story, coming together from many places!

We send our cold dry weather to you from Germany. I have been driving the Targa to work most days. Without top, as that is the point.

Do you see any refugees there yet?

It's hard to keep you in one place, Ivan!

Yup, that is my live story... my wife, 911 and tools comes with me ,again;-)plus some animals..

Ivan

All of those things are precious. What is drawing you to Florida?

Living here in Germany, I worry over the quality of life my family will give up when we finally move home. Oh- and that there's no Autobahn. Or Porsche museum. Or Spa-Francorchamps....

Or Belgian beer store an hour from my driveway.

Dru..i`ll tell you in pm..i do not want to flood this post with too much personals stuff not related to 911.. ..i like live challenges....life's too short....

Ivan
