That's amazing - last ones I saw, > are mine. I made a note to count them today. In my run into work ( approx 22 miles but on fairly quiet roads - I prefer that to the slightly shorter 'main road' route that's rarely any quicker ) I was behind a nice '93 9000 Aero in Imola red for about 4 miles - loved the way it surged ahead ( I want one ) a 95 and current 93. On the way back a mix of 4 95s and current 93s plus a GM 900 or '93 facelift'. And I'm not counting the 2 GM900s that are regularly parked near me. Graham
