It is 10 am

Roel,
I guess that it is a little of both... Business gave me the opportunity and I am really convinced that this kind of experience is a growth chance for all the family.
By the way, thank you all for thumbs up.
Ciao

Hi Eugenio. Great news. I wish you all the best if you decide go to Manila.
Looking forward to seeing you and Maura again in Tuscanny, with Wolfgang, but without Ton See ton, you'll be missing Eugenio's leaving celebrations.
Cheers
Simon

 

I'm here....

 

Amen....even though I have no idea what's going on in the UK section. MLP

 

Eugenio,

It will be sad to not have you back on the island, but if you decide to go for it, it will be yet another exciting challenge for you and the family. We WILL visit!!

Yet another reason to do the Tuscany trip gentlemen....I feel the pressure growing!

MARK

 

By the way, Hedge and I got together for a short drive over the weekend. He has a NOISY new exhaust and a lot of the attitude that goes with it!!

After Marc went off to play some tennis, Debs and I drove out into the country - it was a wonderful afternoon, and I will post pictures at some stage.

Later, MARK

 

Done @ Let's Make Some Noise...

 

OK, no activity here during the last two hours...
I am home with the kids (Easter brake...) and the weather is not good enough to go out for a spin.
I am beginning to prepare my bags for Manila. Next week we will begin to see where life will lead us.
Hope to heare from you all, my friends.
BTW, I have decided to leave the 328 in Europe. I will try to store it as well as i can in order to avoid major problems. I only hope that no major damages will occurr during the years to come.
Ciao
Eugenio

 

Hello Eugenio,

sadly the same bad weather conditions here in Germany.
We wanted to drive to the Lago di Garda for 3 days (eastern). No, not with this bad weather. I don`t care about to drive in the rain but at least I would love to see some sun at Bardolino - weather forecast says Rain, Rain Rain...
so, we will also stay at home over eastern and maybe a short spin around the blocks on Sunday and Monday.

Packing and preparing for Manila.......its going very quick now?!
Tuscany, don`t forget our Tuscany Rallye - a must go B4 your leave us.

Hope you will find a secure and dry garage for your beloved 328!?
Its very important to know that your beauty will be save and secure during your absence.

Hope to see you soon again

Best
Wolfgang

 

Crazy, I lie directly between you two guys and we have beautiful weather today. It's over 20°C, lovely sunshiney day. Sorry, just wanted to rub it in

BTW Wolfgang, probabaly not the best weekend to drive from Germany to the Gardasee....unless you want to spend it with 500,000 other germans in a traffic jam somewhere around Chur

 

Looks like you've found you fcar Ton
Perhaps you guys could work out a leasing agreement

 

Wolfgang,
yes, you are right. Everything is moving VERY quickly, in Maura's opinion even TOO quickly but... my company works this way.
Next week I will go to Manila mainly to give a look, check school and accommodation and so for and so on. My initial stay will only be 3 - 4 weeks, then back home, contract signature and final move in late June. That means that as per today Tuscany is definitively IN .

Ton,
From the initial info I had from Manila, the accommodation will be a villa in a guarded compound 30 minutes south of Manila, with swimming pool and all amenities.
Should that be confirmed, no problems for friends accommodation.
As far as the 328 is concerned, my garage is de-humidified but I am not sure that will be good enough..

Simon,
If weather is good, tomorrow I will be out for a spin as well !)
Ciao
Eugenio

 

Eugenio,

all my love & respect to you and Maura.
Take care please!

 

...and almost dead
Whats up gents?

 

Hi people!

I've noticed an overall quietness in Fchat these last 2-3 days...

So much that I'm entering sections I don't frequently visit but I should do more often...

 

Yes, but my advice - stay faaaaaaaaaaaar away from the P&R section

 

Yes, very quiet lately.
But, to be honest, wasn't much online myself too.....
