I think he was french from MTL maybe.  I remember complaining about his new employer in Germany

He most certainly was not from Montreal.

Last I heard :   He didn't like Germany. Wanted to move to France.   His French was good but he was trying to get a residence permit that would allow him to live there... and then there would be the problem of finding a job.   IIRC his family came from one of the East Asian countries maybe 2 generations back

Taiwan I thought.   Yeah, he had lost his love of cars and had gotten into motorcycles.   
Hope he's doing ok.

Man Julie just turned 50 today.  She hasn't been on this forum for almost 5 years.  Miss her comments, wonder what she is up to now and what she is driving.

I must say that if you’re here for the cars talk and you don’t have a penchant for politics I can see why some seek the exit.

There seems to be a lot more of the latter rather than the former these days, unfortunately.
