Nerdville?
Is it just mine, or does anyone elses missus call them "Nerds" for frequenting the forum and playing with cars?
She just said that this site was set up by men, and that all of you lot are half naked women!?? - I like the idea, but im not convinced, unless of
course that actually IS a picture of FlakMonkey!!! 
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

Set up by a man but ruled by a woman
And I have to say that she's very lenient, far more than I would be sometimes

I must admit to being half naked at the moment, but it's the male half

I get called a nerd, but thats usually due to my enthusiasm for Xbox 360 gaming, cars and computers.

Just asked my missus, and she said NERD. Mind you, she goes on Farmville (How sad is that..............)

I have a non related question though.......How do import a photo from my hard drive for an Avatar. It wants a URL for some reason...... Unusual, as
normally you just click browse and then add the photo with most sites..........

Richard.

Ah......so it is NOT just me who cannot see the relevance of posting Avatars of 'various' women on a car building forum?

It's the same relavance of those calendars in garages, with the scantily clad women draped over some tyre. I don't know what kind of
thought brought that about...
"Hi, I'd like some new tyres.. Have you got the ones she's sat on?"
Fozzie who is that on your avatar? I keep thinking Steve McQueen...

Yes..it is Steve McQueen .... a 'still' from the film 'Le Mans' .... 
Going to the first bit of your post ninehigh.....I have always thought (and only a personal opinion mind.... ) ... that the girly calendars you
mention, are not just a wee bit demeaning to the girls...but more to you guys......as in, you will only buy a product, be it tyres or cars and such,
just because some dolly bird is draped over it....as though you haven't got the brains or foresight to do your own research, or indeed that
their product isn't good enough to sell itself ..... without a girl draped over it....... ah well
All above IMHO of course...

That is brilliant! I'm so going to use that next time
Mind you if that's the case 3 should be selling their stuff in poor-no mags!
*Edit* Doh, that's two typos today that have slipped past me, the grammar police are coming!

My misses calls our South Brum Meet 'the Geek Meet' and kindly refers to my car as the expensive, pointy (imagine legs grazed against
exposed wheel studs) pile of crap! She isn't too smitten on wearing a helmet to protect her from stones/bees - apparently it gives her hat
hair.... !
