Hey,

Big, BIG hat-tip to Axel who was kind enough to work a deal with me and finally get me a Silver Anniversary G1 for the asking price of helping him out with an overseas eBay transaction.  I've wanted a complete set ever since I got my SA set a few years back and found it was missing.

This is a good guy!  A square shooter!

Thanks muchly, aia!

Axel's a great guy...and lucky, too.  He's got a fantastic view from his apartment!

it was a pleasure: i'm also happy to help unlucky collectors (like me) in order to complete their dreamed collection!

@stephen: btw, the pic you got it is not exactly what i see from my flat... i live near there, just 2 min walk! (the landscape you got was taken from the city hall and this would mean that i am the major of the town... :D )

Damn, and I thought I had connections!

BTW, I'm tentatively planning a visit to the home country in Toscana in the fall.  Might be cool to try to meet up.   :D

eheheh... just to give you a rough idea...

this is the city hall (the place from where the pic i sent you was taken, it is Piazza Unita d'Italia):

while the place i live is just aside the church at the end of this channel (Piazza Ponterosso):

if you look in www.viamichelin.com you'll see that it is pretty close... anyway i'm not the major of my town (or, hopefully!)

well, you'd be welcome!!! just keep in mind 3 issues:

1) my town is far away from everywhere! so this could cause you to travel a lot!

2) you'd give me the new in advance since i dont work in my town; anyway you could be hosted in my newly new flat!

2) it is better to come here in summer! it is definitely nice, you have the sea and the weather is cool, during autumn and winter (and even in the first part of spring) i wouldnt sugget to visit my town due to the wind... there's often a strong freezy wind (coming from siberia) and it could reach very high speed (this year the highest speed was "only" 130km/h while two winters ago we had up to 180km/h)...
