Hi Guys,
I am awaiting a genuine set of Porsche Coolant pipes to be delivered to me. I will then be sending them to Samco. Samco are one of the largest producers of Silicone Pipework in the World. They produce all coolant hoses for 90% of the Formula 1 teams (Ferrari produce their own) and WRC Teams. Just for your interest they also produce laboratory spec pipes to the aerospace and pharmacutical world.
As soon as I have a definitive price I will mail all parties who have shown an interest .
Thanks for your support guys!!!

If Samco becomes the supplier for these, that's great news. I've run Samco silicone on numerous other projects and it's excellent.

When I am going to have anything made, its going to be the very best quality available. I would not want to jeopardise anybodies prized possession with anything less! These will be the very best guys!

Well mate that is a tough one!!!
I am currently an IT & Strategies Director for a UK Financial as well as being a part time musician and Garage Owner. I trained as a Lawyer but hated the English Legal System. Went into Equities Trading for a major US financial for a few years and opened a small specialist garage in South London specialising in handling and performance (still running) an old school buddy runs this for me. You think this is a collection, you should have seen the collection 2 yrs ago, I had another 10 cars from a Ferrari 355 Spider right down to a Mk1 Golf GTi with 9000 miles from new. The wife decided to put her foot down and therefore a cull ensued!! It was cheaper to get rid of the cars than her!

Cheers
Tom

Hi Michelle,
Are you an attorney?
I loved the advocacy side but hated the amount of admin required in every case. I would have changed codes and become a barrister but it is very difficult in UK to swap, Barristers are mainly snobs who don't accept Solicitors.
The garage business is harder than any of my other business interests,I don't recommend it!

Cheers
Tom

Yeah, I can imagine it's tough. However, I'm a Public Defender here in the States (appointed defense counsel for indigents) and end up with the clients no otherr attorneys will take. I figure if I can keep these people happy, I can keep anyone happy!

A long time friend of mine has practised law for 30+ years. When advising my daughter, who is determined to study law, she was very clear: "The only legal practise to consider is estate and trust law. When the decisions are made and the action taken, you have the great comfort that your client is deceased, and thus cannot complain. " Wise counsel.
