If it were not for the wiper blade, this would be a terrific cover photo for a Pagoda World issue!  Just amazing seeing the Alps through the hole in the clouds/fog.  I love it!

If you'd seriously want to use it, I'll take a crack at it in photoshop if you can e-mail me the a higher res photo. (After I return from Blacklick of course).

If I do a terrible job (expected) maybe you could put some text in front of where the obvious seams are.

PM me and I'll reply so you can send it.

Thanks so much for the offer, I have one without the blade which I have sent over...and don't put yourself down, I'm sure you'd do a great job.

Enjoy Blacklick

Rodd,

I have a good "companion" photo of a BE silver Pagoda on the Coupe des Alps, tooling along a pass in the French Alps--beautiful blue skies.  Also a fun one of the same car out the deTomaso's rear window as it gets ready to pass us in a village.  Alas, I've spent some time trying to resize them to 800X600 or smaller with no success...
