My beautiful dancing while wearing a Lycra suit went fine.
More interestingly, I requested my complete set of images on DVD.
They happily complied, and I hobbled my way back to the car and drove home.
I put the disc into the drive, only to discover it is some proprietary format that requires Windows. I don't actually own a Windows computer... I generally avoid proprietary formats and use Linux. This appears to require running a .exe to even view the images.
No, I can't open any of the files. They're not using a standard image format.
I'm going to have to install WINE and hope for the best.
That's terrible. That's absolutely horrible.
I think the person that came up with this idea should be flogged in public, and forced to throw me a parade.

Ah...
I got the SBBH midget thing going.
This sold for less than $9k at auction:

I will have one. I'm bored with midgets tonight. I'm like a five year old with a short attention span unless fixated.

I know jack about cars. But I know I like the shape of the ones you've been posting more than most of the futuristic plastic crap they're making now. Your drooling obsession is appreciated here.

The P1800 came in coupe and shooting brake style. The coupe, you called it a sedan yesterday but I didn't want to argue, is the two door variety.
There's the shooting brake, which you might think of as a station wagon. That style really isn't me, with the P1800, even though I love wagons. I'm a pretty big enthusiast, but not a walking encyclopedia.
I also most bought one a while back, but I declined. Well, it's more like the person tried hard to sell me their car so that I could pay them to restore it. I probably should have bought it.
If you're not too picky, you can get into one for less than $10k. If you want near pristine, it's up to three times as much. It's very affordable. You can buy a beat up one for just a few grand and do the work yourself.
