Hey Oliver, congrats. I'm thinking that you need to have a welcome party at your new house and invite a lot of the hot Miami women. A good date for the party would be anytime between Dec 25 and Dec 31. Oh, and I'll need directions from the Tampa area. :D

:lol: I won't be in the vette. Although, the motorcycle will lay down a nice patch of rubber. :lol:

Depending on what kind of time I have, I may swing down that way. Would be nice to catch up, and I'd love to see the 68.
