Title: desktops
Post by: Sheldon McIntosh on February 22, 2007, 07:26:31 PM
Just curious to see what other members have as their phone and computer desktops.  My computer desktop isn't Alfa, and I'd like a change, just wanna see what's out there.

Following are  1.  My mobile desktop.     2.   My current computer desktop.   3.  My next planned desktop, unless I find a good Alfa one.   He he he.

Must admit, I'm very disappointed with the (lack of) respone to this thread.

How hard is it to post a pic of your desktop? 

Due to a lack of too many options, I've had to use a pic of my own car.

Don't ever talk like that Edward!!  You know you have a standing offer to come and share Ironsides anytime, anywhere.

great pic, where is that? 

By the way if anyone wants to offer me a fair price for Ironsides I'll be in that gold GTV in the background before too long.  Ironsides is pretty well sorted now, 42 laps at the 6 hour at a regularity factor under 3!  Booyah.  No longer any brake fade or fuel surge.  Thank you God.  I mean Bruno.

Don't talk rubbish man, I saw your wanted to buy post ... we all know you'll be on the track again. And the standing offer to co-pilot the mighty Sud Sprint is still there for the next 6 hour ... go Trofeo Top Guns! aiming for top 5.

Correct.  I had to go and look at my sheet again, but you're right.  You really do your research as Webmaster.

Always wanted to be a "fly in, drive, fly out race car driver".  All i need is a high paying sponsor... anyone want to buy artificial grass or need international and interstae freight?  Cos i need about a 000 jobs then can sponsor myself!! :P
Certainly aware of the open offers to share a seat, but it does seem hard to see a repeat of the fun we had over the last 3 years, especially thanks to the MMMAAC!. 
But yes, i am looking for a suitable beast to tame yet again, primarily as a fast road car that can be campaigned in hill climb, refularity, sprints etc.

Bradley, see you sunday for the Red Bull air race

I reckon Sheldon & Robin struck up a deal for the ex Ardi/Lougher car on the weekend after the 3rd or 4th bottle of red.  Sheldon probably woke up feeling dirty and sullied.

I think everyone wakes up feeling dirty and sullied after a few with Doherty.

But especially when talking about two door race cars.   Ugghhhh.  It's just not right.
