scribbled thusly:

You're an Ozzie Bobsprit.A fleet of yachts, ski chalet in
the alps,
Ferraris, close friends of every Australian celebrity,
etc.

So, did you let Richard Branson win the last time you
played golf with him?

Did Tommy Woodcock give you horseback riding lessons?

How many Melbourne Cups sit on your mantle?


Wow Gilly.....you having a midlife crisis?
Do you want to play?

I have a small fleet, yes, I own a small 3 bedroom
apartment in the
French Alps (Val d'Isere) a cottage in New Zealand at the
base of the
alps, a single older Ferrari (a collectors car), 2 very
rare Lancias,
a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX, a Peugeot 407, a couple of
Mitsubishi
sedans that were never released in the US (one is an AWD
vcar to which
I've had a supercharger fitted..it's as quick as a Subaru
WRX Sti,
handles better and is a large family sedan). I also own an
old
Mitsubishi 4WD Ute for towing a few of my smaller boats
and a race
car.
There is a half share in a classic McLaren CanAm car that
I get a
drive of whenever I'm in SoCal, and a couple of other
interests
including the Birkin (modern Lotus 7) which I'm building
slowly at
home.


I do actually know quite a few Australian celebrities,
mostly film,
television and radio personalities.

I have had a short conversation with Richard Branson on 2
occasions at
charity functions....but I don't play golf.

Tommy Wooodcock.....well, again I don't ride horses,
preferring 600HP
under my foot to 1 under my arse.

Oh and I only go to the races when invited by friends,
usually during
the Spring Carnival when I have a bit of a splurge.

But as far as being like Bob, I don't have a massive home
theatre
system, only a 107cm plasma screen TV and a modest
surround system in
a 3.5 x 5.4 metre room, and I anly have very modest
cameras.....though I did buy a wonderful little JVC video
Camara last
week. It has a HDD and can record over 7 hours in one go.

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting
you.
