Having absconded with my employer's hi res digicam once more, I (tried
to) take some "artsy" pics of my car. Close ups, a la the famous 1953
Wolfsburg Factory calendar.

"Sensuous shapes, reflecting the honest dedication and tenacity of the
thousands of people who brought the world this wonderous car. Lines and
planes in harmony with nature, yet bold and assertive, striking the
beholder with warmth and character unsurpassed"

Anyway, one came out pretty cool, I have made it my PC wall paper. It
is the front right corner of the car. Notice the trees reflecting in
the paint and the bit of the hubcap you can see. Believe it or not,
that is a Whitney bumper, fortunately it hasn't been wet yet, so it is
still pretty shiney (will be replaced with one of WW's "show" bumpers in
time for next summer's shows). You can see the L87 pearl white rim
paint, and of course, those slick euro headlights. The photo captures
the colors of the car pretty well, including the black beading and
chrome.

God, I hope this car can stay this clean looking.

The pic is at:

Have a look, but please don't touch. I just finished wiping it down.
I'll get around to linking this pic from my site's "Beauty Shot" page
sooner or later...

Wow John, once again, your car is gorgeous! (Does anyone ever say anything
in the slightest bit not 100% positive about Zinny?!)...And, be proud, Zinny
is the first Beetle to ever grace my desktop ;) (Though I do have the Ghia
screensaver, ofcourse...)

Rubbing it in, eh? I almost hate you for owning such a beautiful car.
Dang.
