    My very first thought looking at her was, that she looks like a very benevolent version of Maggie Thatcher -
    Guess the Brits would have loved her :)

    Mr. Fairman, thank you! Did you know here?:)
    She was the best, most generous and caring grandma you can imagine.:rolleyes:
    But if it was about her family:mad:, especially her grandchildren, she could have kept up with Maggie easily.:)

    I seriously thought that was an early pic of Maggie Thatcher....!!!

    Grandma is likely the better choice :)

    You're a turtle, a scalawag set on wheels, strapped a rocket on the back and placed a painted eggshell on the head?

    Yes, it's an 'Anonymous' lift, but I use it because I actually look like this! (Only blue when the setup doesn't pay off!)

    My avatar is a game called Speed Race made by Taito in 1975. It was basically a steering game - the cars scrolled down the screen and you steered left or right to avoid them.

    It was the first racing game I played (way back then!!) and for 40c you got about 3 minutes. Adjusted for inflation, that's about $4 for three minutes or $80 an hour... which always makes me chuckle when I hear people griping about how expensive R3E is!!

    @fischhaltefolie:
    Nice idea creating this thread. :)
    I chose this avatar because it has little to do with sim racing.
    Choosing the peahen relieved the stress of finding THE appropriate picture for a sim racing forum.
    And, you have to admit, she's drop-dead beautiful. :oops:

    Gopher is my real life nickname, hence the avatar, which has been modified and improved over 20+ years, the wheel he is holding is my custom wheel on my T500, a Sparco 310..

    Well I've always been known locally as Yeti GooseCreature since I was a youth, most believe because of the abundance of hair (and yes at 53 I still have it all, just, daren't put a comb through it! :eek:) but in fact my first flatmate gleaned the Yeti bit from an old sit com, Citizen Smith, Woolfies girlfriends, old man used to call him a useless, long haired Yeti the GooseCreature being tacked on via Monty Python and it has stuck forever. My Avitar is a Duck o_O actually lifted from a Fuzzy Duck album cover because I can't find a GooseCreature, don't think they really exist! :rolleyes:
