Hello Mike,
Thank you very much for your support and kind sentiments, I am fine I live in a "relatively safe" area on the hills just above Beirut. My wife and two small daughters have evacuated with the British and are safe in London.
It is very tough times in the Land of the Cedars, the country's infrastructure has been devastated AGAIN and a quarter of the population has been displaced, I hope all this madness ends soon.

I had some time off (obviously) so I took some photos of my 2 Pagodas side by side, hope you will enjoy them.

Thank you again for your concern,
Best Regards

I am glad you are ok too.  I second the hope for an end to the madness...

Beautiful cars.  Can you give me a tip on how to convince my wife I need another one?

I had sent an off-line note to Mal last week and had not heard anything...I'm glad he/you are OK.  Stay safe.

It is good to hear that your family are safe and that you and your automotive family are unharmed as well.  The pictures are great.  Whether they were taken at your home or nearby, the spot looks to be an oasis of tranquility in the midst of all the present madness.  We all hope that it remains that way and your wife and daughters can return home soon.

Mal,

Is there anything any of us can do to help your situation?  That might sound like a stupid question, but just thought I would ask.

Best,
