Off topic, but I wouldn't call Cairo safer than Somalia, even with the current situation. But I know what you mean. Both places are f___up.

If it's a Ferrari red family, I fully approve (I'm an original owner of a magma red C32). Yellow with black carbon pieces will look nice too.

Thanks! As soon as I know, you guys will know. The new smaller compressor wheel is manufactured and will be put on, so that will bring up the boost from 1bar to 1.5 bar.

It would be real nice to visit the place
Amazing women, i must see.

There is a fair amount of women of Lebanese decent living in Mexico, so i would imagine they are pretty hot looking.

I take it you are working for a contractor out there?

Mido, it's good to see you around the forums and your still working on your car with all the set backs you've had. Didn't know that was the kind of work you did, but it seems that you help out a lot of people. Be safe out there and we all look forward to seeing you're updates.

I'm still around and the work have been ongoing, just have not updated for a long time...Thank you for those words! I will be leaving Somalia in less than two weeks, 1 1/2 year is enough at this place...Cleared over 8000 items including IED's during this time.
Next contract, Laos!

The plan now are for me to pick the car up on the 19'th....But as so often in this project...I'll believe it when I actually sit in the car, driving it back home.

Will keep all of you updated...
