Thanks for the welcome wishes...much appreciated!I just bought Nigel Calders book on boat
maintenance. So much information and so little time to try to
work through the important things...
On cars: I do really enjoy the German marques. At this point in time, I've owned 18 Audis and 7 Porsches...Sue and I
sold our Boxster S in 2012 and that is amazing bang for the buck and there will def be another one sooner than later: maybe get the boat paid for and then....$10-12K will get a great 2000-2003 Boxster S....wonderful value too... I bought our 2001 for $12,500 on eBay and
sold it 18 wonderful months later for $22,000 (in Canada)....
On Audis, every one has been a quattro awd and 2/3 have been turbocharged. I spent 2013 working for an Audi dealer (in sales) and bought both a 2003 S6 and a 2007 A6 Avant while working there. Career change (got liberated!!!, read fired) and put both up
for sale. The S6 went first but I will buy it back sometime in the future.....The A6 is a fanatstic car and as a wagon will carry lots of goodies to
Florida for the first month of working on the
new boat....I just rented a small house in Punta Gorda for the month of April and plan to
work on the boat EVERY DAY until she goes back into the
water..........Can't wait
