Calendar -Gene Bockenstedt

I just can't stop looking at it. It looks exactly right. Subtle and right. Gene Bockenstedt is one lucky guy. If I may ask - what wheel/tire combination is that? I love the deep dish!
Drooling,

Thanks Hoadie. This looks like another area where I'm not as up-to-date as I'd like. I could use a term in "Lighting 101 - a synopsis of lighting options in the 21st Century"....

This, in my not-so-humble opinion, is the best automotive site around (at least that I've ever found). The organization is clear and intuitive. I started programming in BASIC with boxes of cards and a pencil and I haven't programmed anything since I learned FORTRAN at university. I'm a computer user...

You can walk all around the car, look inside anywhere and there isn't a line that's wrong. Trimmed out with different spoilers, wheels, colours the car never offends the eye. (or ear, for that matter.) The list of cars that fit that description is damn short.

Val,
Looks like a great day. Quite a range of toys. That black turboed 3.0 CS (I think) looked particularly interesting. Nice 6 series turnout too. I hope to join in the fun next summer. Stay in touch.

You are insane (but in a good way). If you want to come to Canada you would be welcome (for about 80 hours under my car). I can provide food and bed and as much Heinekin as you need. No?
Great car.
