Carl Yes but does Schwarzenegger have one of these?

Yes, he is (was?) austrian, what i meant was that climatical Austria is similar to Germany. Is he a good Gouvernor?

We don't get into politcal discussions on this web site, that's why it's so pleasant here! I was involved with a Swedish company in the 1980s (thus my Forum name "verktyg" meaning tool). They used to take us to Sweden every year. It was always the week before Midsomers Nact (mittleres sommerNacht - mid summer's night - the Summer Solstice). That far north, there was 20 hours+ of daylight. Every trip our hosts would fly us to visit one of their facilities in another European country for a few day. One year there were snow flurries in Københaven on the night of June 21! After 3 trips to the center of Western Europe, I realized that the weather is terrible there in the summertime! Chas. in sunny California - eat your hearts out! (but remember, we have 4 seasons here: flood, fire, earthquake and drought)   Posted: Wed Nov 11, 2009 3:51 pm sandranian Site Admin Joined: 27 Feb 2006 Posts: 2701 Location: Southern California Like Chas. said, we don't get into political discussions here. But to answer your question: No. He has not been a good governor. Debt has skyrocketed due to his inability to make tough decisions and stand up to the left-leaning wacko legislature in California. After several of his initiatives were defeated by well-financed unions who were able to sway a gullible electorate, he seemingly gave up on trying to reign in the out-of-control spending in this state, which is nearing (or is currently in) financial ruin. *Rule #322: Forum Administrator does not have to follow any rules. _________________ Stephan Andranian Costa Mesa, CA www.gitaneusa.com   Posted: Thu Nov 12, 2009 9:29 am Holger Joined: 27 Feb 2008 Posts: 62 Location: Germany/Stuttgart last post not Gitane related, i swear! sad to hear that, i liked him, especially his early movies like Conan (knocking out the camel scene) also the way he made from a small town in Austria to Hollywood. 5 or 6 years ago i saw him in the factory i work for, picking up some cars (i think a 911 Turbo and an Cayenne Turbo) i remember eyeryone allways thought he must be about 2m tall, but he i´snt, he is relative small. He was very friendly to the people, and the crowd was shouting. I know he owns a lot of Porsche cars. So know i am waiting for my evapo rust remover, to clean up that old Gitane Frame. best regards, Holger   Posted: Thu Nov 12, 2009 9:35 am sandranian Site Admin Joined: 27 Feb 2006 Posts: 2701 Location: Southern California I love(d) his movies, specially when I was in high school and college. Predator was the best ("If it bleeds, we can kill it"). My second favorite would have to be "Hercules in New York". It was his first movie, and his voice was dubbed. I think it is cool that he awards the leader's jersey during the Tour of California when it stops in Sacramento. Good to see him support cycling. I don't think I have ever seen Schwarzenegger riding a Gitane.

I would take the latter over the former in no time flat. However, I cannot afford to move to Australia at this time. Peter H. Geography lesson   Posted: Fri Nov 20, 2009 12:07 pm verktyg Joined: 14 Jan 2007 Posts: 2814 Location: SF Bay Area Geography lesson from a recent US President: Australia, Austria same place right??? Ex politicians are fair game and not political any more!

Please don't be offended if I write something political or religious. Please assume a large amount of Aussie sarcasm. If I have something serious to say to you, I'll put it in a PM. I do try to keep it on the humourous side........... really. ) Peter, don't bother coming here. We are trying very hard to become another State of the USA, or so it seems sometimes. Chas: Yeah, same same. Vienna Boys Choir is playing at the local park next week. _________________ Kind Regards, Wisey Delta Dreamin'   Posted: Fri Nov 20, 2009 7:40 pm scozim Joined: 26 Sep 2008 Posts: 629 Location: Ellensburg, WA sandranian wrote: I love(d) his movies, specially when I was in high school and college.

I don't think I have ever seen Schwarzenegger riding a Gitane. (Gitane content). I just had sinus surgery 4 weeks ago and had Schwarzenegger to thank (Total Recall) in being able to describe to folks what it was like to have the packing removed from my sinus cavities. I did ride my Gitane Sprint to the 3 week follow up appointment in 40 degree F windy/rainy weather. (my Gitane content) The doctor thought I was nuts for riding there. _________________ 1984 Gitane Sprint 1984 Gitane Tour de France mid-1970's Gitane Olympic Plus many more http://eburgcycling.blogspot.com   Posted: Fri Nov 20, 2009 10:07 pm Peter S. Horn Joined: 15 Oct 2007 Posts: 144 Australia/Austria/Germany/France; all good choices. I cannot handle pain as well as I once did. I do not believe that shipping my Gitanes (plus any others that I might obtain in the interim) to whichever destination would be a major problem.
