I asked Otmar about 10 years ago how he had so much time *and* money to do
his stretch.
He never emailed me back.
Safe to say he probably has a pretty good job with flexible hours.
Or a winning lottery ticket:)

I know what he had been bidding last time, but got out bid!  He is one
of the smartest people I know, so spending that kind of money on a
wrecked car, I know he will be able to finesse it into the stretch.
It's an awesome project, and I can't wait to see it, and go for a
ride!  :D
