Did you see the PINK / RED Alpina Wildleder in the B3 3,0 25 th Anniversary?

Yuck!

BTW I found the link via this program which is incredible good. The more whiter an area is the more hits than you zoom in in a category you want to. I searched for Alpina B8 and zommed in region and Asia and found that site. Also the are graded in terms of which most people get to. It's is now a program I'll always use for searching on the Internet. I did a query on Mr Janne and and it popped up alot of results in Adult sections. Weird

Here is my OT post about it:

Thanks, why didn´t I think of that??

I mean, it seems like an easy language and pretty much the same as Swedish.

Regarding the search results for Mr Janne. You know that we students doens´t have too much money so I needed some extra money. And why not do anything you´re good at??

Yup! You'll master it in 5 years or so, when it's time to change the E65 design

From what I understand the language is not too difficult...its mastering the general way of thinking which will take time...there are something like 7 different ways to speak to someone, depending on how much respect you have for them...also there are 8 to 10 ways to count from 1 to 10...for example it's different for round objects, short&thin objects, people, etc.

Interesting culture though!
