^^^^ That reminds me - I have an old OM10, that has, from what little research I did a while back, a problem common with them. You wind it, take a shot, and the mirror doesn't return all the way, and the next time you wind it, the shutter just springs back to its "shot" position. If you carefully fiddle with the mirror, you can get it to wind and do one more shot, but the syndrome starts all over again. Or something like that; been a while since I've handled it. I'm a Nikonoid, so I'll never have occasion to use it. For any Olympus geek out there, it's yours for the shipping. Silver body, pretty "stock" 50mm lens, maybe a 1.8 or something? I'm not familiar with Olympus gear. Just pay it forward, send someone a nice crankset or something.

Edit - IIRC, it also has the manual shutter speed override dial.

Cute Citroen. And what's the turqouise/aqua colored sedan? I vaguely recall having one as a kid, but I'm totally spacing on the make/model. Oh wait -- is it a Rolls?
