[Leica] IMG: Early Portrait

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Alan,

I must admit that the glamour wears thin in a fairly short while.  And, 
the sun damage to the scalp that I am dealing with in old age was 
certainly not well served by the extra exposure. However, in the case of 
the Plymouth, it had an X-frame beneath it that added weight and 
stability in an area that was appreciated.

My 2007 Volvo X-70 has a nice sun roof that may have been opened once in 
the eleven years that I have owned it.
