    ...to a great guy in Australia, of all places. I just I have received all the money by wire, but the car is still in my garage until he can get it picked up. There aren't any scams that can reverse a wire transfer, are there? Funds are there and available (not pending). I'm going to call my banker to move them today anyway, but...

    As Spang predicted, the dude will actually be converting it to RHD (as well as putting a tranny in it). Wow. Anyone know how to get the Right hand mirror or steering rack? I'll go post in the TR section too I guess.

    MDScore- I need my strakes, baby.

    I think a wire transfer is pretty safe. Ask your bank if they have any concerns over it.

    Congrats..... Something else planned?

    Thanks guys.

    Sam, let's go ride! My research isn't up to date: Can I get a decent road bike for $35,000 USD? Considering what I paid for my trusty Cannondale dura-ace "back in the day", I'm not sure anymore, after inflation. haha! ...based on tdf drug scandels, if I had my racing career to do over again I would stay on a klunker and invest the rest of the funds in EPO doses instead. (kidding).

    I've been jones'n for a 360 spider pretty hard, but the one I was ready to pull the trigger on just sold (also overseas!). I would love to get something older, spider/convertible required but nothin' is doin it for me. Ideas?

    I always wanted a Dino gts, but they are about double my budget all of a sudden.

    No, I was buying Jeeps in Harrisburg. Haven't been to a highline sale in weeks.

    Puff, I'll keep an eye out for a 360 spider for you. There have been some cheap ones at sale lately.
