I see that we share an aesthetic. I just loved the Bugatti that looked like it had been painted with a stick. There were several there that looked like they had been honest racecars, and had not been restored to garage queen status. I had a net.friend who I haven't heard from in a while, Roland Dudley, who drove around in a beater 289 Cobra. I saw him drive by on hwy 9 once and knew it was him because there aren't too many cobras on the road that have had the paint stripped off, but are being driven around despite the owner not having gotten around to repainting them. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- 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.
