An EBS in January? Does this mean I have to buy another motorbike?

Hmm, all that holiday traffic and full accommodation, not for us I'm afraid but we may well get up as far as Rick in march/april.
The definition of stupid has got to be the belief that more guns will negate the bloodshed done with guns.
I have a sofabed if someone wants to come to the EBS but needs a place to kip.

So where are we doing it ?

I don't think I've ever even touched a Ferrari! Good luck with it - love to see it sometime!

I'll stick my head out and say that I don't think they need specialists to work on them. Everyone says that about the S38 engine in my M5. I rebuilt it myself and have over 50,000 km on that rebuilt engine, including four track days. I've heard of plenty of others worked on by supposed specialists that have had troubles.
I was talked out of making some "improvements" to my engine by a mate who is an engineer who did a lot of development work for Ford and Aston Martin. His advice was to follow the book religiously... which is what I did. Not wishing to knock your mates, but specialists often seem to develop their own "knowledge" where they think they know better than the factory engineers - and they often don't follow the book as a result.

I knew something was up when you wouldn't tell us what it was. I was expecting the worst... a 400.

The 308 isn't their finest period either. I knew a photographer who had one as his daily driver when it was new. Bastard wouldn't let me drive it. I also had a discussion with old man Hadley some decades back - he'd stretched a Daytona (365) to make a limo out of it and he said he couldn't believe how badly it had been built.

That's a lot of boat for $78k Rob. How's the price now on that other one that you are looking at? It could be worth a ridiculous offer.
I've just had a mate tell me that he has bought a business for next to nothing that he tried to buy a few years ago for $12mill. This was his fourth attempt, the second he went back with $6 mill, the third down to $1.3mill and this final one was obscenely less than that after submitting a ridiculously low (and barely serious) tender to purchase through liquidators. To top it off, after the liquidators called him in to do the deal they started removing plant items from the tender sale so he told them to jam it and walked away with an over the shoulder comment to reduce his offer by half if they wanted to try talking to him again. They called him 2 minutes later before he left the car park, the final deal was 50% of his tender offer, the liquidators just had to be shot of the business.

As Greg said ... that's a lot of boat and that superstructure might be fun in a big blow. I remember being anchored next to an ex-tuna boat in Princess Charlotte Bay in the tail end of a cyclone.That top hamper on the tuna boat made for an interesting night and I have to say I was surprised to see her afloat the next morning. We dragged. She ploughed .

Greg , I've got photos of the rebuild , and its just MASSIVE !.
No wonder that 42 ft boat weighs 24 tonne , or something.
And the interior is very tastefully done.
In one of the posts from the (very keen) broker , they do mention the money spent , its just a heap of money.
A shame really , but someone is going to get a lot of boat , for peanuts.

Not me, that's just too daunting for me.

Yeah... I could use another project.
Got some good news today. The missus gets released from gaol on Christmas Eve.

Up to my eyeballs in some work projects at the moment. Once I crank out some reports I'll have some time between drafts and finals.... so I'll do maintenance.... then its off to smoke up some more rubber in Asia, then I should start playing with wood once I get back.

$385 + plus transport from the Central Coast to the Qld border. Any idea what that would have been? No I didn't buy her.Tempting though .

Transport to Qld? Maybe $300 for a crane onto a trailer, then a couple of tanks of juice.

How I got away with it? Maaate.... all legal. I reckon. All dogged down... chains, straps... whatever.
Speaking of dogs.
Jet's owner, my son Peter, is in Spain - and then Di's gone off to gaol for a month, so he's turned to me as his new boss.
Incidentally I've just seen photos of Pete here - this isn't him, but same place - the El Camino Del Rey cliff walk in Spain.
Ughh
