Mark, that is the nicest you've been, about something I know you truly abhor, in a long, long time. I know you're not turning over a new leaf, noting the mild dig, but that's all it was - mild!
Cheers! And in this case, it would be a jeroboam of DRC La Tache!

...The funny thing about posting on usenet: Anyone, anywhere in the world can see it, and if anyone expects their idea to be received without question, as Moses took the tablets, allegedly, they have to be positively delusional.
As much as one invites approval and approbation one must expect criticism and abhorrence.
And then there are those who expect unwavering obeisance, who should just go f.ck themselves with a Twiglet.
>Cheers! And in this case, it would be a jeroboam of DRC La Tache! I'd prefer a Barolo.

But everybody has different tastes in wine. And when it comes to Italians for some reason I go for obscure Sangiovese and Piedmonte stuff. Of course, I drool over the great Brunellos, and I certainly would be happy to drink some Gaja Barolo if I saw a bottle in the local wine shops that didn't cost over $40. Iy may be the house everybody talks about, but hey - they make some good sh.t.

I didn't say I hadn't heard of them. I asked what the Hel they are.

"Chicken Cleopatra- Breasts of chicken, sauteed with slipper tail lobster, flamed with cognac in a minted mascarpone cream sauce."
From a place called Madeline's Restaurant at the Grove, 609 Highway 35, Shrewsbury, NJ.
Hell, you make it to NJ once in awhile, don't you? Give it a try and let us know if it makes the grade.

Going to NJ for food is like going to California for culture.

RicDeez - 31 Jul 2005 15:21 GMT I think it looks great Bert, good job. I especially like that you left the 308 on there. She looks so shiny and new. Have you completed? You are a very brave man, but the hard work paid off.

I think it looks pretty damn good, especially considering all the work you put in. As I recall, you have pretty thick skin, and you're going to need it now, because there will be blasts levelled at you that could be nuclear in proportion. Godd luck!

Godd luck! It's not exactly like chopping up a 250 PF Coupe to fake a 250 GTO, but it's much more like that than not at all.
Despite their econocar status and production numbers in the Ferrari world, 308s in the real world are very special automobiles and, just like the 250 PFs, GTEs and 330 2+2s before them, deserve a fate much greater than butchery in the name of fashion and vanity.

I sure wish I lived in a place that looked like that. As much as I like this part of Arizona, it would be nice to be in a place where people still want to have open spaces, where people take care of their lands. This country is so f.cked up in that regard - development and greed are the guiding forces in most US states.
And you're within miles of the coffeehouses. What more could I ask for?

Had to drive 10 miles to find a suited location (in fact I drove and heard funny noises and the coolant temp meter wasn't in an OK position so I made a stop there to check on things and then decided to take some pics). In my neighboorhood were I grew up all the places I used to play and walk the dog are gone, houses now.
> And you're within miles of the coffeehouses. What more could I ask for? Miles? 100 meters. But unlike common belief, we in the Netherlands don't have that much "coffee", I don't know anyone in person that does and the coffeehouses are mostly visited by foreigners, germans. Though in certain parts of my town every other house has it's greenery...(spell?)
