Let the odyssey begin.
Nice Car Tsaqqa!!!!! and a nicer plate. There is a greater meaning after all.
BTW, got a HD webcam so that our vidoe conferences be clearer going forward.

The team across the pond...

The second car (really!)



Jamal. Can you explain the symbolism of this number plate? Please notice that the car still has its star. Thanks Osama! Actually it's quite fun when things work out well and I am looking forward for the real event.

The second car (hopefully)


After days of on-line search, on Dec 9th. I found two promising cars. A 1988 BMW 525i and a 1990 Mercedes 190. Next morning I called for the BMW (my favourite!). Sold! -> **it! So I called for the Mercedes: A sleepy owner told me to call later. Called later and made an appointment during lunch time. Took the car for a test drive and inspected it as well as I could – No faults, so I made a down payment on the 900E. On Monday the owner will deregister the car and in the evening I will pay him the rest and take the papers for registration. Wish me luck! Googled about the Mercedes 190 and found out that it is a reliable but rather thirsty car. Should make the journey!
