All in the name of money, heading to the Oil Capital of the world.

The only good thing I can think of is the cars. First off I'm going to get a GMC Sierra. Then either a Camaro or Mustang. And finally one of those Pro Touring muscle cars, again probably a Camaro or Mustang (68-70').

I'll keep you all posted.

Oh, sadly selling my GLE AMG, F-Type, Ducati, Jetskis and maybe even my wake boat. Ho Hum....

Must be good money to give up the pleasures of Sydney Harbour & Broken bay.

Give our regards to the Trump when you get there.

Sounds like fun to be had! If you'd rather keep hold of any of those vital pieces of family paraphernalia, such as the F Type, and just need a secure garage and the peace of mind that they'll be looked after, let me know...😊

Right, the big sell off has started;
Jetskis - Gone
F-Type - Gone
795 Merry Fisher - Gone
Ducati - Gone
AMG - Debating, wife and kids are staying in Sydney and they want to keep it.
Four Winns - Up for sale next month
Jayco Outback Camper Trailer - Up for sale next month

Defender stays and probably the Discovery 3 too.

Should have mentioned my family is staying in Sydney, so I'll be able to get a few little bachelor things Stateside.
Buying a property in Clear Lake Houston for circa $1m, which goes a long way there. Waterfront not a problem.
Also considering a Ford GT for circa $250K, just love the looks of these and they seem to be appreciating.
And a GMC Sierra is definitely on the cards.

Going to really miss Sydney but I'm in the process of buying an Industrial Safety company that'll I'll be able to focus on completely with a goal to sell it in 5 years.

Ahh, jeez - why didn't you say so earlier?? I've just emptied most of my garage's contents into Kimbriki to make space...smile

The rest of the plan sounds like fun, esp the bit about having space to yourself... Enjoy!

I will reach out to you in the future I suspect, thank you.
