Good to hear you finally got a zed, post some pics up as and when mate.  |
The EU gave me lots of money to do a postdoctoral fellowship for two years, so hard to say no
We have left most stuff at home, packed it all in our garage whiel renting out the house.
I like cheap good beer, leberwurst and being able to ride my bike to work.
I miss the beaches (never far from one in Auckland), sailing and driving my Midget, Metro etc.
As for Champions League final, I already tried that and got rejected. Heading off to the Monaco Historic GP in a few weeks as it's the 50th anniversary of Bruce McLaren's win there, and will be quite a few Kiwis going. And then doing MG Live at Silverstone (although in Dad's UK Midget), Goodwood Revival and hopefully the Olympic football. Going to be busy, and poor, but fun.
The wife is off to register the car today so hopefully wash/wheel change (yes the 16s definitely fit over the brakes, they're on it at the moment) and then photos.
