pics of my GTI

Good assesment, I would buy it...  I like to know where words evolved from, 9 time out of 10 it is stranger than fiction...  Example...  'The Whole Nine'...  IIRC, this came from WWII.  Whomever was loading the machine gun (which ever type it was), would ask the shooter if they wanted the 'whole nine yards' of rounds.  This was apparently an issue because the longer the ammunition, the higher likleyhood of jamming...  If someone has a better memory than mine, please feel free to correct me...

Cheers,
  David
