Pork Pie, Just a thank you for doing such a great job. Stainless should have had you write the letter in German so customs could read it. Glad you got it worked out.

John Boy,

Stainless done it perfect right, he had one declare outside with the shipping paper and another one inside....95 percent of the import parcel got the custom declare in English....English is the global used language...if they can't read English...it is their fault....not Stainless, not mine.......

When the guy at the custom said....oh, this is not in German, this is in English......I said him.....Stainless can't write English, he is American.... :roll:

Thomas, it's not that I'm about as happy as can be for you and enjoy seeing you in the photo -- but would you tell me about the art on the wall behind you in the photos?

Jon, not a problem at all,

as I remember I told you earlier, that I make nude art work with oil pen...this are some of my art work....on the right side...she was the daughter from a British fellow who worked with me in an engineer office...she was a very well known underwear model in England...
on the left side...we had some fun to do something like a "Peep Show" art work...we really enjoyed this time....
By the way, I done this picture in my stereo studio....but my whole apartment is full with this kind of art....... :-D

PP, thrilled to hear that they finally made it home.  Only 2 more pieces left... WF timing tag and the record certificate.  When they arrive we will decide if it will be better to send them or have you pick them up at the salt. 
Again, great job driving, for those that don't know there was a pretty good crosswind at the timing tower that appeared after PP left the line on his return run.  The goal was to run under 18 seconds in the last 2 miles... he did.  It is not an easy task to run a one liter naturally aspirated motor in an open wheel car over 200 MPH.  There is no room for driver error, can't miss a shift point, can't let up, any misstep will cost you the number. 
You earned those trophies, you earned that hat and we were happy to be part of that.  You have driven a race car at Bonneville, you have set 2 landspeed records, one of them over 200 MPH.  You are one of the very few people that have done that.
Welcome to the Club.

Thomas,
Thanks for the pics. :cheers:

How about using your oil pen artwork for your avatar, kind of like Tony on a rotating basis.

You would make a bunch of dirty old men happy. :-D

By the way, very impressive, records, two club, and pen work.
