Update on Jaap and his car:

He sold the Audi! And since he doesn't post anymore, here's what he had to say about the whole transaction:

"I sold it to a crazy Scotsman. What an idiot. But thanks for the idiot. He
gave me 2400 dollars for the car. That was the price that I asked for it. He didn't wanna talk about the price. Idiot."

Jaap makes me laugh. He lives to complain. But YAY for him! And now he's back in Australia, with more months left to go than I have. Lucky guy! And he also carries the coveted sweater that I left in Auckland. Just like Frodo...
