It has been a busy couple of months, but it is all official now. I am moving to Oregon!
I got a transfer approved for my job and took my family to OR this weekend and bought our first house. It doesn't have the 3 car garage that I really wanted, but it is close in my job and has everything that will keep the wife happy! All of this has been motivated by the ridiculous housing prices in the Bay Area (median is now $705,000) and the enviroment (i.e. schools) that my newborn son will be growing up in. We are very excited. Now for the 914 content... 1. I will be in the Portland area for the WCC 2006!! 2. On my drive back home on Sunday, I saw two very clean looking yellow 914's and one orange one with chrome side door trim traveling Northbound between Eugene and Portland. So, who in the Bay Area wants to help me move? I will be getting a large Rental Truck the last week in Sept. and two car trailers (one for the teener and one for the '69 912). Anyone up in the Portland area wanna help my upload? -Britain |

Welcome Britain (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif) The house you're leaving prolly got you a better one up here. Our other school in Marin Co. has people driving 1 1/2 hrs. because they can't afford renting or buying. Hills-burrito is a nice city. You're also just minutes away from one of the best Concourse events that just happened a couple weeks ago . If you're into golf there's hundreds of courses and most are very inexpensive (except for the Reserve where Happy Gilmore play'd)!
As for the changing of license plates right away... fergitaboutid. The maliciousness toward Californians only goes on in redneck small towns (like it did to my family back in 66 when we moved to Bend) Now Bend is made up of most transplants! Yer gonna like it here once you get used to no sun, rain, ice, snow, wind, too many trees, year round green grass and not having to pump yer own gas!.............
