Congratulations John. An excellent choice 
anything I missed?

a meetup, sounds like a great idea to me. What does it take?
A volunteer organizer, a date, a location with IFR procedures, good weather, participants, anything I missed?
Envious of the large Garmins

sooo, you like to play these kind of dangerous games, don’t ya
Enjoy your acquisition and good luck (and see ya at the next fly-out, meet-up, or whatever it’s gonna be called).
Lovely airplane! Congratulations!
Great choice too. I think the TB20 is one of the best tourers for Europe. Great range and good payload, comfy cabin, what else does one need. Enjoy and have fun!
Where did you find it for sale
I was looking at used plane ads for France, mainly to reassure myself that even if I did want another plane, I wouldn’t find anything I wanted – just tired old DR400-120s and PA28s. Then this one showed up and I was hooked. It was on one of the regular French sites, forget which.
funny up and down groundspeed data
You often see that with Foreflight, even for airliners. If we’d actually had the speed variations that the log shows, I think the acceleration forces would have killed us.
