Just in the process of getting out of employment and setting up Adelaide Hills Touring, specialist classic sports car rental business in Adelaide, South Australia. Pimping my Boxster, a BMW Z-3 and a Mazda MX-5 so far-more to come I hope.

Ah.............fun. Not quite the word I'd use anymore. Lucrative it has been, but fun...................Mmm.............nah.
Been doing it 20 years and am now starting to sell out. I'll keep the beach houses but I'd really like to get out of the long terms. Hope you've done well too

I'm a mathematics professor. Taught for seven years in the high school, and moved on to college. This is just my second year, but I'm enjoying the heck out of it.

I have a fancy poolhall and restaurant. Check out the 'virtual reality' 360 degree shots on the website. And if interested in James Joyce, the page "art in the bistro."

Pierre Shags = Shags Pierre = Shakespere

"Rapid motion through space elates one; so does notoriety; so does the possession of money."
This quote comes from "After the Race' in The Dubliners by James Joyce.
