    Stirring it up a bit.... anyone still wanna bet?

    First, things have been relatively quiet lately, tho there have been some great posts.

    However I have an unscratched itch...

    A while back there was what started out as an interesting discussion about an unusually lovely and original 1972 911S and it's future with a new owner in another country. Unfortuantely, it became rather .....ugly.

    In spite of some misgivings, I have reason to drag it back up. Now, I admit that as far as I know the car is not actually in Istanbul yet, nor even that it really will end up there.... But I can assure all of you naysayers that it is going....somewhere.... and if it does end up in Istanbul our early 911 world will be a tad richer and that it will have a loving home with excellent company.

    BUT, weren't there a couple of you guys who wanted to give 10:1 odds that this would never happen? Still wanna bet? If the offer is still good, I would be delighted to suggest that the loser pay the loss into the kitty right here on Early S Registry. They could use it more than us. I am game for about $1,000. Any takers still out there?

    I say the topic and everything that goes with it belongs in the "off topic" section of PELICAN

    John, John, John……..


    How'bout this...

    If the responses are completely 'straight-up' ... I'll leave them alone

    If the responses are in any way 'off', I damn well suggest you PM John Rice directly with them and help him scratch his itch on his time....

    If not, I'll can the whole thing... OK?

    I legitimately don't understand the point of this thread?

    Are you taking bets?

    Are you asking what we think about Paul and his car?

    I really don't get it....
