Inspection is Monday. Hoping it all goes right.

The garage and family room over it was rebuilt this winter by the current owners who are moving back to NY. Whole house was repainted just before it went on the market so we'll see what the inspector that we're hiring says about the condition.

This move will bring us out of MA and into NH, away from MA's draconian firearms and vehicle laws.

Looks like a damn fine boozer above the garage for when the MI.net lads get together for a pissup!!!

Sounds like a plan, Single Malts I've got. Not much of the vino or frothy types kept on hand. And, I'd expect each one to bring some local spirit to the party.

Oooohhh, I think I like you @Dixon66 old mate, I'm a sucker for a good single malt!

I would bring along a single malt myself and a bottle of Bundaberg Rum just to keep us honest!

I'm a happy man when I'm drinking whiskey (or for that matter anything else) but I gotta warn everyone, Rum makes me wanna fight everyone and everything!

It has been almost a week sine I bought myself a brand new Ford Fiesta 1.6 TCDI in Titanium package. This is my first "unused car" and I still have thoughts on I would find a better option with the same price in second hand market due to the recently increased USD/EUR value against TRY as well as the state taxations on otomobiles (due to that its almost two times more expensive than Euro market). But still my first impressions are quiet positive abt the car...

Just curious where are they made now for European market? The ones for sale in the US are from Mexico, I think.

They are produced in Cologne, Germany for the Euro market right now. And also if I know correctly the current US market model of Fiesta is a facelift sedan/HB version of the 2014 model. This most recent one is introduced for the Euro market in late 2017 but not available in US yet...

I had a funny vision of a crocodile Dundee moment with you brawling in an outback pub and bodies flying out of the door
Love Rum and Whiskey and like you I am at my happiest

Nice. I can't convince myself to pull the trigger. I've been burnt in the past by "grey" versions, and the official US one is too expensive for something that gets updated every year.

Well after many years of pondering I have decided to bite the bullet. I have ridden old bikes and my current bike is a Honda VFR800 Fi 18 years old.

This little beauty will be mine next week.
A Harley Davidson Fat Boy. 1680cc V twin. HAPPY DAYS!!!!!

 

[Dixon66]
