How time flies‌
1979.
Trends come and go. Legends come and stay.
1983.
State of the art will often change its look. Ours won‘t.
1987.
Some looks fast run their course. Ours became a classic, fast.
1996.
Some believe copying. We believe in absolute originality.
2000.
Even a millennium ends one day. We are never out-of-date.
2008.
Some things go soft around the edges. We stay true to form.
2010.
Some capture the Earth with satellites. We prefer to see it live.
2012.
According to the Mayan's we are at the end of the road. According to the G-Class that's where the fun begins.
2015.
After 35 years some might want to take things easy. We simply put more pedal to the metal.
Love of detail.
