Default I plead the fifth ;-)

Not sure how to respond to your cheeze (cheese, chez, fromage, queso, kase, formaggio, etc.) question - I fear there's something I should know before answering.

Now I'm going to have to behave, I'd hate to tarnish my image - classy! ;-p

Now I have a questions for you - why do you refer to your audi as Mr. Plum? or is it a big secret? I call Randy's rs6 "the mistress" Even after six months he still parks her in the garage and comes into the house with this big silly grin on his face! Only a hot woman can do that!!! LOL

Default My most previous A8 was "white pearl" in color; hence, Mr. Pearl. This car is Oyster Grey which in

direct sunlight appears "purple" to me; hence, Mr. Plum. I have always names my cars from my very first one; a 1949 Ford, baby blue convertible which had "Earth Angel" painted on the right quarter panel. . . just weird I guess.

Default Mr Ricco, are you poking fun at me again?

c'mon, it's only taken me 6 weeks to make a decision on this car. It took Randy 3 years to convince me to move to CA!

Default Re: My most previous A8 was "white pearl" in color;

Not so strange to name your cars. My first car was a 1961 vw bug w/cloth sunroof - I think Randy secretly refered to it as "the death trap" he seemed to have issues with the fact that you could lift the carpet off the floor and see the asphalt flying by under your feet. I guess I've always been a german car kind of gal - as the saying goes - You've come a long way baby....

btw, you didn't explain the cheeze

Default The CHEEZE word. . . where did it come from? A very good

question. . . searching for the answer is why many of us keep coming back here (analagous to looking for Waldo). These are the few facts I have picked up so far; Mr. G. is deeply involved, go to his picture poster, that is his home in the background, and he insists that this home is also his CHEEZE factory.
My suspicions are he is either attempting to build a record for writing his home as a business, or, he is attempting to generate interest in his autobiography which will be released immediately after Clarke's book sales die down.
