If your new Porsche business doesn't work out (although I'm sure it will be very successful), it seems that you can make a bundle exporting UK chocolate to expats. I'm sure Howard and Ruairdh will provide a constant stream of business!

Seeing as this thread has gone way off track, may as well get totally surreal.
The next time any of you meet up with your esteemed moderator Mr Boggiano, be sure to ask him about the night when his stash of Mars Bars got taped to the ceiling!

Woah, woah, woah...
Howard, did you say there's a place in the US that sells Iron Bru?!?! I can't believe it! I'd be willing to buy a plane ticket just to come over and pick up a case! (That is, if I didn't already have to buy new brake pads, and a few microswitches, and springs...)

In fact we should plan a Rennlist ex-pat picnic, were we have a menu consisting solely of pork pies (with branston pickle - bought some of that the other day too!), scotch eggs, mars bars, Licorice Allsorts, wine gums & baked beans all washed down with Dandelion & Burdock, Vimpto, Iron Bru and Mr Boggiano can throw in a bottle of vintage green lucozade for his stateside brothers! Probably wouldnt want to do much spirited driving after this little lot though!
BTW Phil, I am extremely sorry for totally hijacking this thread with my British confectionary fantasies!!! Although it HAS kept it bumped I suppose! Anyway...my aplogies! --H

Don't worry Phil.
We Irish fully understand the concept - there is a 1 to 1 relationship between how "Irish" you are and the distance from Ireland.
I think this rule also applies to the pork pie eaters and the lucozade drinkers !!
P.S. when you need some contacts to English speaking Porsche pushers in Germany, let me know.

I guess different people want different things. I always find my technical questions are answered on Rennlist even if the thread eventually goes off on a tangent. Personally, I am quite happy for threads to develop this way - I think it makes for a very relaxed friendly place. If you want purely technical then I'd recommend John Miles Smartgroups thing. I actually left that because whenever someone mentioned something non-technical we'd get the "Technical posts only please" post and I prefer the more relaxed approach in Rennlist.

You guys in Yurrup, stop complaining, YOU can drive to Germany and enjoy your cars, we have I95, I495 etc, better off with Prius here.
And, don't get me started with the espresso, had to spend a "ton" of $ to buy an Italian espresso machine after a few trips" over there" to try to match the espresso.
So, here I can use my cars to just enjoy a "drive" and spend a saturday polishing.
Even when we visit the rentals are usually limited to "transportation" cars, ok but not a BMW M car or a P car.
