he hee ... I`ve met Golfhunter in person. Very nice guy, french, very friendly and from a place I wouldn`t mind living ...

p.s. wouldn`t there be an opportunity to link EE, LV, LT people somehow on the internet? an EN speaking forum. I think we could all benefit from more integration. I don`t see many of compatriotes using international platforms, e.g., http://www.saabcentral.com

or there is that nice thing as yahoo groups mailing system. I mean, I joined up the vintage saab group and guess what - am able to ask questions and get the best answers from gurus like Chip Lamb, Bruce Turk et all.

I guess you both have got some features in common- passion for saabs, yard full of cars and you both live in place where most of regular people wouldn' t mind to stay. Obviously, you both parlez francais.

He`s from Grenoble, FR. Nice climate, warm in summer, Cote d`Azur just a couple of hours drive, Alps just a stone`s threw away and nice Provence just around the corner.
My current surroundings are far from what it has to offer over there.

No Latvian diplomatic representative required there? Wouldn't it be nice to settle down in a spot around there?

I have always been amazed about different occupations that owners of saab farms are in. Honestly speaking, I do not think that one have to be a gangster or a PM of France in order to move to a spot like that and host a yard of classic saabs.

I have a friend of a friend of a friend of mine who simply packed his violin or (what ever it is he plays) and a couple of suit cases in his old Volvo 760 and set off to little town beneath Swiss Alps. Met him a couple summers ago- still still plays the instrument, lives there, still drives same Volvo, seemed to be more than satisfied.

Bottom line: I guess that a day will come when I will pinpoint a place in a map where I want to be, back my stuff and set off. In spite of everything else.

Can' t see the pic- what is it? Trollhattan?

Scandinavia, especially Norway- only when I am 60+ years old.

Must admit that the last picture must be censored for at least two reasons- not just that girl looks kinky, even the car does. :)

Anymore suggestions in this off topic free fall?

Unless I sell my saab along with my soul to devil..

If I can make it back to Benelux within exchange/volunteer project by late summer- that' s cool enough. How about advise on that?

And I still have to complete my MA thesis in public administration either way. To make long story short- in foreseeable future I am looking forward to moving in somewhere in your neighborhood.

I guess now it's about the time someone invites us to move to a private PMs.

I wonder what would be tax expenditures for your car yard in CA.

Someone should make a great video compilation from Auciems this weekend.

For this- someone should equip someone with a camera or atleast give a ride to someone to Auciems and back.
