[Leica] Re: If Porsche Can Do It, Why Not Leica?

[Jim Brick <jimbrick@photoaccess.com>]

Actually, down here in Silly Cone Valley, BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche
convertibles are thought of as "pick-up" trucks. The phone and computer are
built-in. The dog, lumber, paint, and groceries go in the back seat. The
fitted tool box is built-in in the trunk lid. An M6 is worn like jewelry.
The megawatt Bose system in these cars will accompany any beach party.

Must be Friday.
