| If that is the car I think it is, looks like you've ended up with a good 'un. Fortunately my experience with Australia turned out well. But you are absolutely right about the characters. I am generally relatively self reliant, so some of the characters you mention I have not really had a very long chat with, even now, on my second 40, and having been in one club for nearly 10 years, and the other about 4. My advice for quite a long while now about anything to do with 40s, is that it will work out at least twice as expernsive as you thought, and probably take at least 3 times as long to get completed. And that is not just a complete car, but also getting anything done. With regards to where to get things done, again it comes back to visiting the people, and seeing the evidence with your own eyes. Do not rely too much on what ANYONE else tells you. Before I got this car I took a trip to Melbourne, Brisbane and Auckland, to see the 3 antipodean manufacturers around at that time. My final decision was the right one. The other two are no more.
Have fun, and try not to add up the bills too carefully. All the best. |
