Unfortunately I go on leave Friday morning for 2 months, but your engineers are more than capable of offering any assistance! We usually seem to be in the same area as you, but next season we'll be in the Far East so will have to catch up in the next med season and see how your CAI is performing!

Would I be wrong in thinking that when you leave the boat and get in the S, any young ladies in the vicinity may think your 'Mr Cash' and want a good old fashioned poop decking?

Thats why I don't bring my car down here, sick of all the attention.....and it looks a bit crap parked next to all the Enzos!
I am afraid all the young ladies probably think who's that old git getting into that nice car! Wish I could have afforded one in my 20's - if they had made them that long ago... Dare I say it here but most ladies are generally underwhelmed by what we drive, there are a discerning few on this forum that do understand.

Yep! boarding pass in hand! good thing was that the flight was then cancelled because of the weather so got my money back too!
It's a hard life - will probably the delay the trip a week so offer is up for Monday 8th Oct now. The CAI will arrive next week so there will be some serious engineering going on on the dock.
Have a good leave - perhaps see you next season.

Well it was a long slow drive down (14 hours door to door) but worth every traffic jammed mile for the fun of driving Col de Turini today - absolutely fantastic fun. There were times on the autoroute on the way down that I would have swopped the S for a nice saloon but through the twisties and hairpins today I don't think I could have enjoyed it more in any other car. If you get down here it's a great road and there are many more around too. The smell of hot brakes, engine and tyres at the end of the run was intoxicating. Have a safe weekend all

It's nice to (virtually) rub shoulders with people who live rarefied existences like captainbridge and Shiskine.
I want to make it clear that I've only been to the C
