Coastr Posted 8September, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 8September, 2017 You guys scared me off with your constant talk about Australian delivered cars. As a person with two filthy worthless imports I no longer feel welcome.Ps I am as Australian as a broken double plugger, so it's even worse.

Mike-S Posted 8September, 2017 Report Share Posted 8September, 2017 Well you can just take your worthless imports back to where they came from ?Friends of mine moved to Seattle many years ago from the UK, he worked for Microshaft at the time. 2 year assignment, 10+ years later they're still there and I doubt they'll go back permie to the UK. The winter sports photos they post are superb ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 8September, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 8September, 2017 Hey - congrats - (however our first request is for copies of the selfies you take at Wankers Corner on your road trip to Disneyland).You working for MS or Boeing?apparently a Disney trip is part of the family contract, despite two existing visits under the belt. Better things to do and see but..no big deal.I'd rather not confirm the work on the Internet but not those.I just spent some time in Victoria BC, just north of Seattle, great spot make sure you visit I do plan on going there, as well as San Juan Islands.

Zelrik911 Posted 8September, 2017 Report Share Posted 8September, 2017 My funny Seattle story:30 yrs ago we did a family road trip from LA to Vancouver & return - loved every moment of it.In Seattle everyone said "you must take a ride on the gorgeous old tramcar" so I had visions of riding a sort of San Francisco cablecar.Waiting at the tramstop & all the other excited US tourists were saying "I can hear it coming - its just around the corner". Anyway around the corner came an ordinary old Melbourne tram, not only that it still had its Melb. route number showing. It was a number 48 'North Balwyn' tram - the same one that I had caught to school & back for 8 long years so totally underwhelmed. We really enjoyed everything else about Seattle though.Vancouver Island is really lovely too, the ferry rides up there are fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamr Posted 8September, 2017 Report Share Posted 8September, 2017 I think all of you have missed the point ...My left of centre mind has me thinking ...1. Postal address in the US for those seller's that won't post international ...2. Coastr's car buying and export service ..3. Personal PPI's for cars in the Seattle and surrounding areas ....4. Cheap postal service for parts bought from Pelican Parts that charge exorbitant postage .... get them sent to Coastr first then he can forward them on cheaper ...C'mon folks .... surely we can find a plethora of ways to use and abuse him ...

I'm surprised it took this far down the list to pop up.test driving OPP? I'm down with that. But you lot better start looking for some 930s!Waiting for the first request to take a shipping container to the Big swap meets!funnly enough my moving allowance includes a 40ft shipping container with up to 6000kg.

DJM Posted 10September, 2017 Report Share Posted 10September, 2017 We visited BC in 2015 and in addition to the awesome Rockies, an unexpected gem was Tofino on Vancoiver Island, fantastic little seaside surfie and storm watching town. Not too far from Seattle. Enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
