Scirocco art - Illustration v2 pt. 1 - Complete!

[roccit_53 at scirocco.cs.uoguelph.ca (C Boyko)]

OKay, what's with the list? We all dive in on an unfortunate young man who
was killed by a Scirocco (allegedly) but NOBODY comments on this gorgeous
stuff? They're amazing, and the reference photo should make us all want to
go out and hug our cars, that's exactly the sort of project we all
consider worthy when most "normal people" would have no idea what that
vehicle's potential is.

Nice stuff there. I'm liking it a lot!
