Following on from some feedback received on the last T-shirt posting, I've added two more T-shirts to the Cafepress collection. The first one is a fitted Tee, featuring a bigger and slightly tweaked TS logo in the centre front and the 'move your mouse' motif on the rear shoulder.

I've covered a lot of road tests here on Trollhattan Saab over the last two years. One thing I've learned is that some journos just don't get it.

Inside the safe was a solid concrete block that concealed at its center one of those really hard to open Eastern European gift boxes with a hidden key...
