I am the guy with an engine that has seven 30 over bores and one 60 over bore by the way!

i like to recognize talent when i see it and when it is deserved...

you know...i've been looking at the pic in your signature for about a year now, and just realized that it's the combustion chamber of a head intentionally making good use of shadow. i thought it a some sort of post-expressionist portrait...truly inventive and a real work of art!

i have to know...is the pic your inspiration or did you find it somewhere?
