Happy Fourth of July!

Today we celebrate the day we "moved out of Mum's house".



A toast to all CaymanClubbers, Americans and otherwise.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."

Congratulations Dave on your newfound liberty.
Today is the day we should all think of the blessings of liberty we have in our lives, the sacrifices that our founding fathers gave and the continuing sacrifices our soldiers make in order for this great country to go on.

How about a Cayman Club spin...

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that not all cars are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creators with certain attributes of Power, Comfort, Thrill and Style and that among these, only the Cayman reenergizes our Life, expresses our Liberty, and on the track, allows us the Happiness of Pursuit."

Ooooohhhhh!! A low blow. OK, you asked for it...

How much did your Cayman cost??

My new 2007 Cayman S (purchased March 2007) w/ PASM, Bose and heated seats was $60,000 out the door, including all taxes. I think that's about 30,000 pounds. Can you buy a Cayman S for 30,000 pounds???

The dollar? It still buys twice as much "petrol" as the pound.

Vietnam? They have a per capita income of only 726 of those dollars each year.



They have a day that they celebrate. Loosely translated into Engilsh: "Day of celebration and givings of much thanks to Jane Fonda and Walter Cronkite who saved us from being like South Korea"

South Korea per capita income of more than $24,000 each year.



I'd say the Vietnamese people lost that war and they have the American left to thanks for their misery. Now they are being heralded as the next great cheap labor force. Maybe in 25 years they will be as foul and polluted as China.

Er...uh...thanks. But I am 43 and moved out a long time ago. LOL. I was just being gentle, and succumbing to my rabid Anglophilia by characterizing the Revolutionary War as "moving out of Mum's house" since right-thinking Americans consider England a place they would travel to the far corners of the world to defend today.

We would cheer for Canada, of course, but for the Brits we would fight. Especially if France goes through with it's secret invasion plan.
