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' .
