For the record, Millenium's 140 TWINE isn't mine.

No worries Kevin. The PJ123 wasn't mine either, but I liked the rendering and the colors worked well with the site. For the new YF, I chose something more in-line with the new graphics. On your M-140 avatar, that's probably one of the all-time coolest images in yachting. I would have chosen it too, but you beat me to it.  | |

If you lie to it, I'll swear to it.
Joking aside, one option is to use a silhouette-style image. Generally, it's not identifiable, except for maybe the most seasoned ************s and an extracted image can be intriguing.
Something to consider...  | |

Hey, silhouette is a very good idea. Me like. Another angle would be to adopt some sort of code (wink-wink). Example, images framed in a cloud like fog would be "dream yachts", not owned yachts.
Ok, that was a stretch

Looking forward to see your 42m yacht! The avatar I proposed to you is of course the Endeavour, sailed on long explorations well over 200 years ago, with a certain captain at the helm... could have been your great grand-grandfather..? | |

"Endeavour, sailed on long explorations well over 200 years ago, with a certain captain at the helm... could have been your great grand-grandfather..?"
Afraid not Lars. My family tree has been traced back to merri olde England. But a different corner of the island than Capt Cook's family. Though I do feel a certain dread when people suggest visiting Hawaii.

But if it wasnt for these dark, frosty, misty days, we wouldn't get photos like these...  | |

I assume you've seen the new Z4 hardtop? Getting rave reviews.

Jon,
Have you got the software to crop those pics to 640? If not, I'll do it later, but I've got a batch of about 100 images in P-Shop right now.
Thanks!

340hp in a BMW-Z? That's approaching AC Cobra numbers! Might have to log-off and hit the Bimmer dealer for a ride. | |
