Maty,

I have to know, what line of work in Montana is supporting your ability to pay cash for such amazing vehicles? Are you trading commodities?

If you don't feel like letting the world know, you can shoot me a PM. Or if you think I'm too forward you can tell me to go to hell. I will completely understand.

As for me, I freaking love Montana. Spent a month traveling around Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho and it is the best part of our country. Unfortunately I work in the banking industry which keeps me married to the east coast. If I knew of an occupation that could set me up with a Montana ranch and an Aston, I'd consider pursuing.

By the way, I'm not trying to say you are a trustafarian (one that is living off a trust fund that likes weed and doesn't work) or that there is no way you can be creative enough to be successful in Montana. I am sold on the authenticity of your situation, that's why I'm asking a bold question, and I want to live in Montana.

plate

I'm intrigued by the plate on the aston. Could that be "college fund", "Colorado girl friend" or what?

 

[Matyoka]

Staugur,

College fund is the answer

James,

We moved from Central Jersey to Montana through a job transfer. I was fortunate enough to invest in a two family home in the Rutgers University area in the late 80's and sold it for a nice profit when the prices hit the roof in 2006. No trust funds involved, not a millionaire's aire and I busted my butt to be where I am. I was born and raised in Europe, so pretty much I had to start from scratch with no hand outs. I started my career with banking while attending Rutgers than moved on to be a linguist for the Dep of Defense and my present employment, well... let's say I make a good living compared to Montana standards. I hope this answer fulfills your curiosity and with regards to banking positions in Montana, I would say that there are many booming cities state-wide and good jobs are out there. Montana's unemployment rate is one of the lowest in the nation...

PS: I bet JC will be asking for bank statements and original birth certificate... Soon ICE will be banging on my door as well!!!

 

[JC7]

great answers Maty.. please scan a copy of your bank statements for reference as well as original birth certificate.

Staugur,

College fund is the answer

There's only one response to that.......................

Jerry, my 1993 Rover Mini, whom lost his numberplate in a tragic trailer off loading incident.

 

[Matyoka]

Staug,

That's what I am talking about!!! NIIICE.

 

[kohanjj]

Love the Mini! That's the only one of my 'dream cars' that I've yet to obtain in life. Over here in my part of the States they are rare as hen's teeth, and bloody expensive when they can be found.

I'll trade my BRG on Tan XJ6 for the Mini, if you throw in the shipping :lol:

... must I say more?

 

[watchman1]

... must I say more?

Yes. You should explain how you are able to take a picture of your speedometer while going 300 kph.

 

[SpootyPuff]

^^ lol, i'm curious how that was done as well

 

[theflyingdutchman]

Yes. You should explain how you are able to take a picture of your speedometer while going 300 kph.

Because I stopped smoking, writing a SMS and arguing with the wife! That let me focus on more important things that moment, like driving!

^^ lol, i'm curious how that was done as well

The wife helped! Stopped her from screaming on the German motorway!

My fun vintage rides

1991 Mazda Miata with 84,000 miles

2000 Porsche 911 with 18,000 miles

Equally fun cars, just best suited to different speeds.

 

[Matyoka]

Very nice Donaldejose!!! Pleasure seeing a nicely maintened Porsche like yours.

 

[donaldejose]

My favorite ride!

Matyoka:

I would love to have your Aston; maybe someday when the price drops to 40K.

I was born in North Dakota, have relatives in Montana. Western Montana is a beautiful area (in the summer).

Those photos were of my favorite vintage rides.

Actually, my favorite ride is this one:

My wife!

What do you think? How do her lines compare to the beautiful lines on the body of your Aston? By the way she is 53, rather vintage also I guess, but well maintained like the Porsche.

 

[JC7]

thank you Donald!

 

[Matyoka]

The word is Exquisite

 

[donaldejose]

I thought the comparison was humorous.
Curved lines are beautiful, on women and cars.
I wonder why both appeal to us guys?

 

[JC7]

...I'm sorry did you say something..?

 

[Matyoka]

Dunno Donald, but truth is that cars with those curves make me crazy...

JC: I was saying that the word that came to my mind in comparison to Don's wife was: Exquisite, Elegance and even Bijoux
