[s-cars] R8....

[Kent McLean]

<Top posting, which also pisses some people off)

I didn't say anyone's car was ugly.  I like the R8.  I did give a reference
to an old Mercedes SSK and a newer interpretation of it. If you need a full 
reference, please consult the archives. I try to trim my posts to save
bandwidth.

HTH.

P.S. Didn't snip anything this time.
