Subject: "Orange Julius" - NYT Collectible Car of the Year!

Everyone!

It is an honor to tell all of you that "Orange Julius" is one of thirty candidates for The New York Times Collectible Car of the Year.

I'm thrilled and proud and whole bunch of other things, but just like "Project Runway," Heidi Klum is ready to say whether I'm "IN" or "OUT" based on the total number of votes Julius gets from online voting.

Visit this link:

http://collectiblecars.nytimes.com/Contest/Vote.asp

Then click on the picture of Mr. Julius and VOTE! It's just that simple.

What's in it for you? Voters are automatically entered in a sweepstakes to win two tickets to the New York International Auto Show. (I mean, it's the New York Times, so it's not like you're gonna get tickets to DisneyWorld in Florida.)

Another thing -- it's one vote per car per day from now until the contest closes. Bookmark the link and vote once a day - every day so the BMW 2002 is voted as the the most popular "Collectible Car of the Year."

Many, Many thanks!

Delia

My buddy in highschool (also a wink mirror enthusiast) had a '67 GTX that was re-painted white with a red stripe around the "ass end" the original color of which was that turbine bronze of the '67 above your car. I know the original color from scraping factory undercoating. A very fun car.

However I gave "Julius" the nod. "Omnipresent road-feel" just has to count for something!

Hey, everyone!

Thank you all for your support! It's great to see how folks are eager to put their votes up and extoll the virtures of our beloved "Whispering Bombs."

I just received confirmation from the NYT informing me that they've received a copy of my registration, as required by Contest Rules.

Keep those votes coming until December 31! Let's show 'em that decades after they were last built, the BMW 2002 "Cult-Car Phenomenon" continues.

(When I say "Cult" I'm not talking about the Moonies, Branch Davidians or Jim Jones...it's more like Amway and Herbalife.)

:)

Cheers!!

Delia
