Today I learned that Evo Magazine has placed our little Twin into the highest desirable group that they call 'Icons'.. 6 cars that they think are well on the way to securing icon status.

In case you're wondering the other 5 cars are:

Yaris GR4
Renault Clio 200
Alpine A110
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio
Ferrari 430 Scuderia

It's a kinesthetic choice, I think. The soft wood top feels nice compared to plastic, is easy to grip and just fits with the " home cooked" theme nicely. I'm certain that's what they were going for.

Where do you think the term "spice up your love life" came from?

Not sure. It's a low profile mechanical board from MSI; the Vigor GK50 low profile to be exact.

Do you often see penises in everyday objects?

Anyway, found a nice dessert wine.
