Autodesk University 2009 Preparation 1.01 – The Flat White
Find all the coffee vendors in the vicinity of Mandalay Bay Hotel and have them watch this so I don’t get puzzled looks, or worse, if I forget where I am and ask for a “Flat White”! Notice it’s not sold by the gallon, doesn’t have “flavours”

A Fiat Bravo touched by his noodly appendages
Although not exotic I know my Fiat Bravo HGT is relatively rare in New Zealand. Only a few dozen were imported in total, have been told maybe twelve of the Mk2 version I have. However something has happened which I’m almost certain will make it unique. It has been
