Ok, so after
many ups (lady testing her machine again and making a hem without any pbs / confirming the "nose" closes / her husband unscrewing the table's legs for ease of transport / realizing she lives only 7km away from my friend in Milan)
and downs (not able to contact my friend until yesterday night — while he's supposed to leave tomorrow morning to come & visit me / understanding there will most probably be no space left in his car for the 401 + table since he'll be traveling with his wife, 2 kids, and their 2 big dogs, lol / and... seeing a brand new classified ad on the web for "my" machine from the same lady yesterday afternoon)...
Only "ups" today:
- My friend went to the lady this morning & bought the 401
- He then bought... a car top carrier!
Can you believe it?! (I hardly can)
