yep. Trans atlantic liners from the golden age of lots of funnels and ice bergs... The best tickets available offered a change of cabin on the return leg to ensure you stayed on the sunny side of the ship. Being in the northern hemisphere that meant being on the left of the ship on the way to New York and the right side on the return to UK. Hence, Port Out, Starboard Home and " POSH was highlighted on the ticket. The best you can get ... _________________ Pomps

you will be going there, exactly that road leads to Schotten and it's not the best part. |
I can vouch for that, it get really interesting after the fuel stop at the garage. I can't wait to get back out there again, and even better with some more bimota's this year.
Looking forward to meeting a few of you out there and Roll on August! |
