Congratz on your "retirement" my friend! But! speaking for the IL gang, we're gonna miss you, Hans!
You will always be one of the FBI - a "plank owner" (to use a naval term
). So, wear your "colors" proudly!
And, too, know we're all going to be envious as hell come Jan, Feb, when you send us pictures of you and your wife and the Z taken while on some foray into some twisties in the mountains.
Some of my favorite day trips were going up to Mt. Palomar (known for the famous telescope installed there) or going up to Mt. Laguna...LOTS of twisties mixed with some straights, and some nice places to stop and have a bite to eat and take in the views before dashing down the asphalt again!
One thing did catch my eye re your exhaust; that being you mentioning that it is now a Corsa? More to the point: the MF stuff was replaced?? If so, how do you like the Corsa in comparison?
