Blimey, I go away from the forum for a couple of months and you all just carry on without me.
I see a discussion a couple of pages back about one of my favourite subjects: cars, so here's a picture of my little fun bucket:
I've had it for nearly three years, now, and it can still put a big grin on my face when I take it round the twisty lanes near here.
If anyone's interested, I've got a gallery of some of my photos here.
Let's see if I can be less of a stranger in the future...

Graham, just wanted to comment on your photo's.
Sure does look like a fun car.
I'm both a car lover and a geek, so I've got the best of both worlds here.

I've not spun it yet - it has really very impressive grip (due to the mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout). For those in the UK who know the road, it handles the A686 with consummate aplomb. (For those who don't know it, it's 22 miles of driving bliss: everything from long, fast straights, to really tight 180 degree hairpins, with superb visibility most of the way and a wonderful view of the Pennines to go with it.)

Well, here's a more recent photo of me ( be advised that no child under the age of 18 may see this, as they may get nightmares! And, another warning, if you get scared easily, look away! )
Thanks Sid, Paul. That's the nice thing about make-up.
I'm confused though - why would they want to jump to Philippines? The wedding was held (again) in Saipan.
// Sid, why did you disclose where I'm hiding at? :P
