If memory serves you are already a member there.
I stopped going there when my services were being abused, but I still have a lot of friends on that board.
Beware of TrackRat aka TR, he is a lot of fun

He's a character. No, that's too much of an understatement.

time for an expresso coffee, so happy I have now got some coffee from Oz, I just couldn't find a nice brand of coffee beans here for my expresso machine, just couldn't get used to the burnt flavour of american beans, so my biggest baby sent me some from Oz, they are sooo good

I really don't think there are words to describe TR. A nicer guy you would be hard pressed to find but he is a unique one

When he worked a couple of blocks from my office, he, Rick Lee, and I would meet up for lunch. Always a laugh.

Azzy, since you were considering a cab, are you also open to getting a Boxster? You should be able to find a reasonable one that's local. Just a thought...

naa, don't like the newer cars, wouldn't be able to take a Boxster home without going through the LHD to RHD conversion anyway, but a 30+ year old car I can leave it LHD, and don't have a problem driving a LHD in Oz drove a RHD throughout Europe which is LHD land

just thought that a cab would compliment the two we already have, and give us the choice of the top down on a lovely sunny day in Canberra. When we get home. we tend to keep cars forever, not just for a few years, I'm talking decades, so the three Porsches will see me through I think.

I have told my kids that they shouldn't look forward to getting Miss Daisy, cause I am being buried in her lol

Not surprised, it was a few years ago. Anyway the 915 was addresses and the engine freshened up and sold to a guy named Bill, here in town who refreshed the suspension and sold it to dad, and I redid the interior. Needs paint and a little body work but a very sold car.
