Pat,
Yes, I know what you mean about the only way I am going to be able to see and ride a Turbo. The good news is for the first time in my life my finances and dept are going to be zero'd out in about 2 months and I will finally be able to afford a trip like this. It took me over a whole year of doing nothing but sitting around this house to get me to this point but in the end it will be worth it.
I am looking forward to a fantastic year. My interest in fairs and carnivals is on the rise again because this year I am definitely going to be able to visit some of these out of the way places that I have never been able to afford to before.
Believe me I will have a new digital camera and my 2 Hi8 camcorders with me if I do go to Australia. I plan to take extensive pictures, and with my digital camera "on ride" videos of the turbo in action which I will be able to post the mpg file on line.
Nice to hear from you again and you will be seeing more from me on line from now on.
