Got one in Caldwell too.

Do you know the name of the field? It's a long way from here to Idaho in my plane, but you never know!

It really was fascinating watching a huge double wasp engine on the half shell turn over and over.
Like being able to sit inside a swiss watch while it ticks.
The cam system is incredible. Like "What the hell is going on there!"

It was indeed but how many of the guided tour presentations did we watch while he was there pushing that button before we set off on our own again? We then literally walked the whole place and came back to find him still pushing that button and grinning.

Found his happy place.
How many of the Hoi-Polloi can say the same?

Just fell off my chair!! You guys have "hoi-polloi"? I thought the breed was pure European..

Just got an email from the dealership!

Now just have to wait while they ship it half way across the country.

^^^ See? Classic example.

They were kicked out of Europe years ago.
Where else do you think they were shoveled off to?

edit:
Only ones left in Erp are powerfully built company directors driving porkers and fezzas.
We can still find joy in a cheap tin toy occasionally.

Well, you'll have to wait for those rail blockades to come down first. Then for the back log of goods to shuffle through the system before it ever gets near a rail yard. You'd have better luck flying out to pick it up and drive it back!
On the other hand if you wait for them to ship it the salt and snow will be long gone and we should be well into the warm sunny weather!

Congratulations! Looks pretty. So how do they move cars across the country? Trains, planes or trailers?

Will not get details until Monday but I doubt they will send one car from a dealer to a dealer by rail. The logistics don't make sense. They will throw it on a truck headed this way. I would be very happy if it takes a month or more to get here since it gives me time to sell mine and we get into better weather. I am not in a rush I am just relieved they found one because they were not optimistic originally.

Bulk by rail. Small volumes truck. Plane would be cool.
