just egging you on !!!!!   I think to make  the euro trip worth it  plan 3 months..ideally june 15 till sept15 is best  in any case  minimum 2 months  otherwise cost become prohibitive . you remember I was in france this past 3 weeks  ...well to be a nice hubby I went to a painting gallery in Paris   and chose a fine painting for my wife.
the gallery's owner  tells me I knock off 600 euro if you pay cash  basically 4000 in lieu of 4600   I said ok  walked to the money exchange office  changed $5000 for euros  walked back to the gallery  12 minutes top and guess what on the way back  I was pickpocketed clean !! I could not believe  never felt a thing  the cash envelope inside a zippered pocked  GONE!!
did I ever felt stupid ! 
on a more current event I am booked at nels on may tuesday 31 at 2.00PM I had the shop that install the neville parts do a dyno run  without any change   I am looking at 172 BHP and 164 torque  I hope Nels can improve these numbers   because so far I am not impressed
