Telephone Calls from all over the world

Yes, I get telephone calls from all over the world. You'd be very surprised where owners have found me from, and called on the phone to ask advice, to ask me to put their car on the Registry, or just to yak-it-up.

Here are some of the places, and the cars:-

Switzerland (perfect English BTW) Black 89 with Sand Beige gut.
Italy - Red 1986 'Vert Sand Beige
Geneva - Azura Blue 88 Dark Blue top
Israel - Coupe - 1986 - White Full Pkg, brought back from states. Sun Roof - We spoke some Hebrew together - I learned how bad I was

Mexico - White '87 Blk top (WE SPOKE SPANISH TOGETHER) I did good

Canada - MANY !!! (at least 5 or 6)
Holland - Paris Blue 86 'Vert
Paris France: Very broken eNgLiSh, was difficult. Black 'Vert 87 Red Int.
New Zealand - Azura Blue & 2 Paris Blue 89s !! (They didn;t know one & other)!!!!!
London: 2 of 3 there, found their way to me Azura Blue & White with Red Int.

This is like 90%. The others I cannot recall at the moment.

A couple (not knowing or having any clue as to the time here, called at 4AM !!) We now take the phone off the hook at midnight & hang it up at 8AM.

Outside of Tel Aviv, but I don't recall exactly where. It was a long time ago.
Regarding my BrOkEn Hebrew, I learned it from my Grandmother. First the curse words, then the really bad curse words, and then sentences, using the curse words! I never actually learned individual words. I know, sounds strange, but that's how it was. She cursed alot!! ALOT! So, I learned them first !

Then the basics.....

They teach foreign languages in this country all wrong! ZERO common sence! Think back when we learned to talk. Did they teach us one word at a time? NO! Our parents (and other) spoke to us in sentences. "Go to Bed" ~ at first we didn't understand, but then we did. In so doing we not only learned the words "GO TO BED" we learned the "idea" ~ I cannot READ any Hebrew, at all!!! I can Spanish, because they use the letters of OUR alphabet, unlike Hebrew. Comish?
