You know, I got asked more than once if I drove over from Australia.
My answer was always the same.

I was asked if I had any trouble on the drive over. I told them that fish in the wipers was the big issue.  :|

Take a little northerly swing and see Treit and myself.  We'll buy wine to go with your steaks.

Turn your GPS upside down and left for right and you will arrive at our place.

I would like to take this opportunity as we stand here staring into the precipice.

We've nearly reached a half a million views on this build diary. They said Seinfield was " a show about nothing", nothing schmothing......this, this is a build diary about next to nothing.

Thanks to all of you people, the pedants, the part timers, the boosters, the boasters, yep all of you.

Thanks to Popes Jon the first and the second, I hope us being here both brought you up and down in unequal measures, I hope it was mostly up.

Thanks to all the friends we've made, nearly all of you were worth it and that's really saying something. Bill, Bob, Wayno, Chris, fERD, Trent, Don, Jim. We saw off Jack Dolan who was a great inspiration to us.There have been many more , we hope we've made you happy as you have us.

There are also a vast number of people who never stick their heads up, some have approached us on the salt both here and there, some have indirectly and I hope inadvertently( but probably not) given us grief, we forgive you your failings.

Mostly though, personally, I want to thank The Reverend and The Colonel without whom none of this would have been possible.

No.  I appreciate your self deprecating style . . . but no.

This is the journal of an improbable success and incredible difficulties, building confidence and having it destroyed, patience and impatience, strengths and weaknesses – defeat and victory.

Doc, Rev, Colonel – from half way around the world with direction from 3 continents and contributions from 5, you've managed to coordinate the Great American Novel.

And if it's not that, it's at least the greatest baseball book ever written about land speed racing.

Heck, I'm drinking a margarita and can actually taste the salt.   :-D

I'm preparing for Goggles visit. I ordered hardwood flooring today.    :evil:
