Nice shot, as always. Watch out for the first in the new series of Top Gear (don't know what channel it airs on in the US - other petrolhead listers will tell you). They spend a good deal of time with a Caddy, a Vette, and a new Challenger.... <http://jalopnik.com/5081442/top-gear-reviews-dodge-challenger-corvette- zr1-cadillac-cts+vand-they-like-them> <http://www.topgear.com/content/features/stories/2006/08/stories/11/1.html> I am deeply in love with the Challenger. Try and see the programme - it's an absolute hoot! -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
