That last picture in the snow sure looks like the word "OZRAM" is written on the decklid.
Or am I stoned?
...or maybe OKRASA
(I think I answered my own question).
It's late as hell here. Time to go to bed. I'm starting to see stuff. |

Forget the car or engine. Just look at the nice Cincinnatti mill in the background about to flycut that Okrasa head. 
Justs beautiful table on that mill. |
