Tesla "will get back to me in a few months" for the position of sales manager at a Barcelona dealership. The way the market and people are here, I'm just taking off. I have gotten a juicy offer from Dubai and it's also deeply related to cars! Writing soon...

Talk about four intense months. In less than half a year I have moved to Dubai, worked in China and lost my job. Still in a better position than when I started, but not without its share of hardship. It never gets easier!

With the G sold, I am gearing towards a new life jump. I'll ship another one, and with the remainder funds, I might take on an internship in Los Angeles for about a year. Still feeling the ground of this.

I have struck a friend in a local sheikh who wants me to keep my eyes open for classic VW's and Benzes; in a year, he will offer me a full-time job as a round-the-world car hunter. We'll see how things go!

Does anybody have a cheap diesel Mercedes that they would be willing to lend or sell for cheap anywhere in California?

Jeeze Miguel ;

I just sold my old VW Panel truck for cheap , no one wanted it and I rebuilt it mechanically from bumper to bumper....

Cheap Mercedes' are still here & there but not like 5 years ago .

Just had my interview and the directors of the Petersen seem pretty pleased with having me on board WITH A WEEKLY STIPEND . I'll keep updating on the situation as I get more and more details...

It's fine, the Sheikh only wants projects to restore at home... looking for T1's and T2's, mostly. May travel to Latin America again.

As of lately, I am gradually falling in love with the W116. Got wagons?

Definitely, will do!
