It's a classy set of wheels he did send a picture many years ago on kernel
newbies irc but I
cannot locate this in a hurry. Maybe Valdis if he still has the pic could
share ? And if you meet
him in real life someday ask him about the hole in his back ? I am not
kidding he went through
some very serious pain due to a *bug* sadly not a kernel bug which he would
have simply squashed
effortlessly but something called a 'flesh-eating bug' . Anyways...
